The public feud between a former Duke basketball player and Hall of Fame head coach continues.

Everyone has their opinion on the saga surrounding former Duke basketball freshman forward Jalen Johnson and his decision to opt out of the remainder of the 2020-21 season in order to prepare for the 2021 NBA Draft.

Johnson made the decision after he only logged eight minutes in Duke’s (11-8, 9-6 ACC) 69-53 victory over North Carolina State, its most complete game of the season to that point.
