DURHAM — Duke senior guard Greg Paulus played with an injured right forearm in the win over Rhode Island on Sunday. He hurt it on Friday, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said, and couldn't even close his hand that day, much less grip a ball or shoot with any accuracy.
Paulus played with a long sleeve on his right (shooting) forearm. He scored 3 points, going 1-for-3 from the field, with one assist and a steal. Krzyzewski said normally, in a tight situation like Duke faced still trailing in the game's final minute, Paulus would play some of those minutes because of his free-throw and 3-point shooting skill.
