SAN ANTONIO – Duke played 80 minutes of basketball last week in Newark, N.J.
Maliq Brown was on the court for 6 minutes, 48 seconds of that.
And you can argue Brown had one of the most important plays of the week, grabbing an offensive rebound — his only counting stat of the game — and prolonging a possession that ended in a Caleb Foster 3-pointer to quell an Alabama surge.
With 1½ shoulders, Duke’s reserve center is still going to make an impact.
“Not trying to look too much at my injury or whatever was going on with me,” Brown said on Thursday at the Alamodome.
