Tyrese Proctor's ankle injury against Georgia Tech

Tyrese Proctor, an Australian point guard, suffered the injury in Duke basketball's 72-68 loss to Georgia Tech on December 3. He landed in awkward fashion after he made a driving move for the basket just 70 seconds into the game. His teammates had to help him get back on his feet after the play.

Georgia Tech capitalized on Tyrese Proctor's injury. The home team went on a 14-1 run and established an 11-point lead after he left the game. Jon Scheyer's team eventually lost its second straight game and fell to 5-3 on the season.

Prior to Tyrese Proctor's sprained ankle against Georgia Tech, he had averaged 11.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. He had been leading the ACC with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.75. Proctor scored a career-high 22 points in Duke basketball's 90-60 rout of Bucknell on November 17.

For his part, Jon Scheyer felt Duke basketball needs to play better as a unit amid its two-game skid.

“I haven't liked the way we've passed the ball the last two games. We have 11 assists as a team. We as a team, I believe, should have closer to 20 assists a game. It should come easier for us,” Jon Scheyer said following the four-point road loss at Georgia Tech.

It won't come easy for Duke basketball without starting point guard Tyrese Proctor. Let's see how they respond with Proctor out of commission.
