Duke's Smith questionable for today's game

GREENSBORO -- X-rays were negative on Duke guard Nolan Smith’s second left toe, a team spokesman said today, and the ACC Player of the Year is questionable to play in this afternoon’s league tournament semi-final game.

Duke’s Matt Plizga said the team wants to see how the foot responds during pre-game warm-ups before deciding whether the senior will play.

Smith hurt his toe with 6:48 left to play in Friday’s quarterfinal win over Maryland when he collided with Cliff Tucker’s foot, stubbing the toe. Smith did not return to the game.
