DURHAM - Duke junior guard Nolan Smith confirmed Friday that he will return to the Blue Devils for his senior season.
Although Smith ranks fourth in the ACC at 17.5 points per game, he has not been the subject of nearly as much speculation about leaving early for the NBA as junior teammate Kyle Singler.
Nonetheless, Smith was asked during a Friday media availability whether he'll be back.
"I'm coming back next year, of course," he said.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has said Singler will wait until the season ends before deciding whether he wants to forgo his senior season and leave for the NBA.
