Is Maliq Brown Playing Today?

Duke’s Maliq Brown is officially a game-time call for Thursday’s Sweet 16 clash with Arizona. The junior forward has been out since injuring his shoulder in the ACC Tournament and hasn’t suited up in two weeks. While his numbers (2.7 PPG, 4.1 RPG) don’t jump off the page, Brown’s defensive versatility and switchability have been key for Duke’s second-unit rotations. If he can’t go, the Blue Devils may lean heavier on their frontcourt depth to contain Arizona’s high-powered offense.
