Although Duke has listed senior forward Lance Thomas as doubtful for Saturday's game against Maryland with a bruised right knee, his teammates are hopeful that he will play.
"Lance might play tomorrow," junior forward Kyle Singler said during a media availability on Friday. "We haven't really counted him out right now."
Thomas was injured in Wednesday's 64-54 Duke win at North Carolina. Duke junior guard Nolan Smith said Thomas wore a protective sleeve on his knee and went through some of the drills the Blue Devils did Friday during practice.
"He did a little bit today and he looks good, so I think he's going to be ready," Smith said.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski has said Thomas is Duke's best defender. Thomas averages 5.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
