Clemson head coach Brad Brownell says point guard Sheldon Mitchell is unlikely to play for the 11th-ranked Tigers when they take on No. 12 Duke Sunday at Littlejohn Coliseum.
Mitchell suffered a head injury in Wednesday’s loss at Florida State when a Seminoles’ player forearm came down on his head with eight seconds to go in overtime. Mitchell stayed in Tallahassee that night for observations and returned to Clemson on Thursday.
The senior guard was placed on concussion protocol.
“I have not talked to the doctors, I would assume that it is unlikely he will play right now,” Brownell said to the media on Friday.
