This is a major drag: Duke point guard Vanessa de Jesus is out for the entire season with a knee injury.
The program didn’t reveal a lot of information about what exactly happened, other than it was a knee injury but it’s a pretty big deal. de Jesus has been a solid point guard for three years and with Shayeann Day-Wilson opting to transfer to Miami, de Jesus was set to be the primary lead for Duke.
Now it’s not clear how that will shake out. Freshman Oluchi Okananwa may get the nod and she might be really great, but you can’t replace three years of experience overnight.
