Devon May Return!

Right now it's still up in the air, but after a checkup at the UVA Medical Center today, the hard cast on freshman PG Devon Moore's left wrist has been replaced by a soft cast. Next Wednesday he will go for another visit where they will decide whether he can start practicing and play in the tournament (begins next Friday). Here's how I imagine the visit to have gone...
Devon: "What are my chances?"
Doctor: "Not good."
Devon: "You mean, not good like 1 out of 100."
Doctor: "I'd say, more like 1 out of a million."
Devon: "So you're telling me there's a chance....YEAH!"
I hope you got the reference... Now, I'm not saying get your hopes up. This is still just an outside shot that will depend on whether the doctor believes he could injure it further by playing. He probably wouldn't be practiced enough to start, but he could provide some much needed depth off the bench to give the other guards a breather. Since we are basically guaranteed to not get a first-round bye, the Dukes will have to play four games in four days (if they make it to the championship) and will need as many able bodies as they can get.
