Duke coach Jon Scheyer is "optimistic" that versatile forward Maliq Brown will return this season from a shoulder injury. The 6-foot-9 junior was hurt after playing just 10 minutes in the third-ranked Blue Devils' win at Virginia on Monday. He appeared to injure his left arm reaching into a passing lane to deflect a ball, and had his arm in a sling afterward. Scheyer said Thursday that medical imaging had found nothing unexpected with what he described as a dislocated shoulder. Duke plays Illinois on Saturday in New York.
