Coach K Says Zion Williamson, Family Haven't Discussed Sitting Out Rest of Season

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said freshman phenom Zion Williamson has not discussed staying on the bench after recovering from his knee sprain.

Krzyzewski addressed the chatter that has surrounded Williamson over the past few days, emphasizing that the forward will be back on the court.

"[Williamson] wants to play," he said, per Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel. "He loves being at Duke."

Williamson was listed day-to-day after suffering a Grade 1 right knee sprain on Wednesday night during the Blue Devils' loss to North Carolina. He slipped just 30 seconds into the game, causing his sneaker to explode.
