Duke Point Guard Caleb Foster Sustains Foot Fracture, Out Indefinitely

On March 10, 2026, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer announced starting guard Caleb Foster has a fractured right foot, underwent surgery Sunday, and will be out indefinitely.
In the first half against North Carolina, Foster suffered a right-foot injury and was seen on the sideline in a boot after exiting Saturday's game.
Ngongba, a 6-foot-11 sophomore, missed the regular-season finale with right-foot soreness and averaged 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds this season.
As the Blue Devils prepare for the quarterfinals Thursday, March 12, 2026, Cameron Boozer and Maliq Brown will shoulder larger roles after strong performances in the UNC game.
Scheyer said the priority is to have Ngongba ready for the NCAA tournament and that Foster might only return if Duke makes a deep run, emphasizing confidence in the roster.
