Mon Mar 03 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Duke Basketball’s Proctor, Flagg to Play Against Wake Forest; Brown Out
**DURHAM, NC** – Duke Blue Devils basketball will face Wake Forest tonight in their final home game of the season with a slightly altered lineup. While guards Tyrese Proctor and Cooper Flagg will be available, forward Maliq Brown will remain sidelined.
Proctor, who missed the Florida State game after a knee injury against Miami, has been diagnosed with a bone bruise. Flagg, meanwhile, suffered a scratched eyelid against Florida State but has recovered. Coach Jon Scheyer expressed relief at the relatively minor nature of both injuries.
Brown, who separated his shoulder against Virginia, continues to recover and is doubtful for the upcoming games against North Carolina and the ACC Tournament. While there’s optimism he could return next week, the team is prioritizing his full recovery.
The Blue Devils (26-3, 17-1) are aiming for a strong finish to the regular season and a successful run in the ACC and NCAA tournaments. The full return of key players like Brown will be crucial for their postseason aspirations.
