Duke Blue Devils senior guard Jeremy Roach has started the team’s last 32 games, dating back to last season. That streak will end Saturday night due to a knee injury he suffered against Georgia Tech last weekend.
Buffalo receiver Gabe Davis and cornerback Christian Benford are starters who will be out with knee injuries when the Bills host Kansas City in an AFC divisional playoff game on Sunday night. Benford had 54 tackles and two interceptions in the regular season. Davis and Rapp will miss their second straight games.
This hasn’t been a typical season for Green Bay’s Aaron Jones, but the veteran running back has regained his peak form just in time to help the Packers reach the playoffs. Jones, 29, bounced back from hamstring and knee injuries to rush for at least 112 yards in each of the Packers’ last three games. The Packers won all three to earn the NFC’s final wild-card berth.
UConn star Paige Bueckers suggested Tuesday that she may return for another season if it means getting to play again with now-injured teammates, including Azzi Fudd and Aubrey Griffin. Bueckers, the national player of the year as a freshman who missed much of the past two seasons with her own knee injuries, is expected to be a top pick in the WNBA draft should she choose not to return to school. “It’s not about teams in the draft, who's got what pick," Bueckers said.
