Official: Dereck Lively II will Dress and be Available to Play Tonight

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer has announced that freshman Dereck Lively II will dress and be available to play tonight when the No. 7 Blue Devils host USC Upstate at 6:30 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Lively, the preseason Rookie of the Year in the ACC, has yet to see action for the Blue Devils after sustaining a calf injury during preseason practice. The 7-foot-1, five-star center from Philadelphia was the No. 1-rated overall player in the 2022 class and headlined Scheyer’s first signing class that was ranked No. 1 nationally.

Tonight’s game airs live on ACC Network and can be heard on the Blue Devil Sports Network from LEARFIELD.
