Duke freshman forward Marvin Bagley III will play against Syracuse on Saturday after missing four games with a knee injury, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Bagley leads the Blue Devils in both scoring and rebounding this season.
The Phoenix native is a leading candidate for National College Player of the Year honors with per-game averages of 21.2 points and 11.4 rebounds. He is also converting 59.6 percent of his attempts from the field and 35.4 percent of his tries from long range.
Despite Bagley's importance to the team, the 23-5 Blue Devils went a perfect 4-0 during his absence with victories over Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson and Louisville.
