DURHAM, N.C. --
Duke men's basketball coach
Mike Krzyzewski was released from the Duke University
Medical Center at approximately noon today (Nov. 15).
Krzyzewski suffered an injury to his iliopsoas muscle in his
right hip during the first half of Duke's exhibition game vs.
EA Sports on Thursday night.

He will continue his recovery at home during the weekend.
According to Claude T. Moorman III, M.D., Duke's director of
sports medicine, Krzyzewski will begin his formal therapy on
the injury on Monday, Nov. 18.

"I am feeling much better today than I did last night," said
Krzyzewski, who has led Duke to three national championships
(1991, 1992, 2001). "I look forward to being with my team next
week."

Duke was already scheduled for a two-day break during this
weekend. The Blue Devils return to practice on Monday.
