Duke's Toby Fournier Struggles with Illness, Return Date Unknown Ahead of Sweet 16
Duke's Toby Fournier is sidelined due to an undisclosed illness, causing concern as the team enters the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Duke University faced a significant challenge in their NCAA Tournament match against Oregon, narrowly securing a 59-53 victory despite the absence of their leading scorer, Toby Fournier, who is struggling with an illness.
In her absence, the team found it difficult to control the game’s pace and rhythm, already a known struggle for them throughout the season. As Kara Lawson, the Duke coach, stated, “She wasn’t feeling well and the doctors didn’t clear her. We found out right before the game, so we’ll wait for further updates.”
The upcoming days will be crucial for Fournier, as Duke preps for their Sweet 16 matchup against either No. 3 North Carolina or No. 6 West Virginia on Friday.
