Duke Basketball: Darren Harris’ Injury Recovery on Track

The Duke basketball program received a welcome boost recently, as freshman Darren Harris was spotted participating in team workouts despite a hand injury. Harris, a 6-foot-6, 203-pound four-star wing and sharpshooter, underwent surgery in mid-June to repair a fracture in his non-shooting left hand.
