Jim Boeheim isn’t going to treat Dajuan Coleman’s left knee like a prized pitcher’s elbow, even if a lot of Syracuse’s potential hinges on Coleman’s health.
In Syracuse’s 97-58 exhibition win over Le Moyne on Monday, Coleman played 23 minutes but all nine scholarship players ran for at least 10. It’s conceivable that he’ll need to play more than that with the Orange lacking depth at center. Boeheim has said that Coleman will sit because of the fatigue from not playing in two years, but that he won’t be on any kind of “minutes limit” due to his recovered knee.
