Grayson Allen Named Captain of Duke Basketball After Losing Title Last Season

Grayson Allen is a captain of the Duke Blue Devils basketball team once again.

Team spokesman Cory Walton confirmed the news Monday with theAssociated Press(h/t ESPN.com) afterSeth Davisof The Athletic reported it. The selection of Allen, who is entering his senior season with the ACC powerhouse, is notable because he was originally one of three captains during the 2016-17 campaign before he lost the honor after tripping an opponent in Duke's Dec. 21 tilt against Elon.

In addition to being stripped of his captaincy, Allen was suspended for one game after the incident.
