Durham, N.C. —
Point guard Nolan Smith practiced with Duke Thursday and Friday and will play Sunday when the Blue Devils face Virginia Tech in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Smith suffered a bone bruise in Wednesday’s win over Loyola (Md.).
"Nolan's fine,” Duke guard Gerald Henderson said. “I guess he just bruised his knee a little bit in the game, but he's fine."
Duke takes an 11-1 record into its first conference game. The Hokies are 9-4 and led by A.D. Vassallo, who is averaging 19.0 points per game.
