Filipowski back from court-storm injury
Center leads Duke to rout of Louisville
Kyle Filipowski was back in the starting lineup Wednesday night four days after sustaining a knee injury when fans stormed the court. He finished with nine points, 10 rebounds and six assists as No. 10 Duke beat Louisville 84-59 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Filipowski was hurt following Saturday’s loss at Wake Forest when he collided with a fan. Team managers and coaching-staff members helped guide the star sophomore center away from the swarming fans and off the court.
Jeremy Roach scored 19 points, Mark Mitchell 17 and Jared McCain 14 as the Blue Devils (22-6, 13-4 ACC) won for the sixth time in seven games. Duke is one game behind conference-leading North Carolina with three regular-season games remaining for both teams.
