DeMarcus Nelson breaks left wrist

Posted On: July 16, 2007 By: Cliff Comments: (zero)

Duke senior DeMarcus Nelson suffered a left wrist injury on Thursday, July 12 in the evening session of the Pan American Games Trials at Haverford College. Nelson, one of 32 collegiate players seeking a roster spot on the team, is expected to return to Durham to have the wrist examined by the Duke medical staff. 

**Update, Nelson does have a broken bone in his wrist and will be out 4-6 weeks.  Just like Zoubek, we can expect him back for fall practices.**

Nelson averaged a team-high 14.1 points per game and was one of two guards in the ACC to average over 5.0 rebounds per game last season. In addition to finishing second on the team in rebounds (5.4 rpg.), he also led the Blue Devils in steals with 44. As a junior, Nelson more than doubled his scoring output from his sophomore season and connected on 47.8 percent of his field goals and 36.4 percent of his three-pointers.
