Duke forward Amile Jefferson is out of his walking boot and appears to be getting closer to a return to action.
The 6-foot-9 senior was pictured without the boot on the bench during Duke’s 88-78 win over N.C. State on Saturday.
I asked Amile if he was getting close to returning. “I hope,” he said. #duke

K said Amile Jefferson’s broken bone is healed. Now starting to walk again. Doing work in pool. No way to say when he’ll retun yet. Progress

Jefferson – the leading returning scorer from last year’s national championship team – had started the first nine games this year while averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds before the injury in mid-December.
