N STATUS UPDATE: 
Williamson’s return will be a welcome addition to the Blue Devils roster, as they have certainly slipped and stumbled since losing their freshman stand-out. When Zion was in the starting line-up, the Blue Devils were locked in to be a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
However, since Zion went down with that injured knee, Duke went on to lose three of their final six games of the season.
That said, barring any serious injury, Williamson is expected to feature for the Blue Devils from now until the end of the season.
Following the season, Williamson is expected to declare for the NBA Draft, where he is expected to be drafted #1 overall.
