Days before Duke was scheduled to depart for a trip to the Dominican Republic, the school announced Thursday afternoon that Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski needs right knee replacement surgery. Because of this, the trip is off. Krzyzewski will undergo surgery this weekend at Duke University Hospital.
Duke posted this video on Twitter, and in it Krzyzewski vows to be at "full speed" in time for the official start of practice at the end of September.
This surgery marks the second major for for Krzyzewski in 2017. He underwent back surgery in early January, which caused him to miss a month's worth of games.
