Duke has been dealing with injuries during this year's March Madness . Big man Patrick Ngongba has been bothered by a foot injury . Guard Caleb Foster is also dealing with an injured foot.
While Foster was considered to be out of this tournament, Scheyer is giving Duke fans a little hope .
"Not to reference Dumb and Dumber, but when he first got hurt, I felt like maybe it was one in a million," Scheyer said, per CBS Sports. "Since then, the way Caleb has worked, the chances have continued to increase. I think there's an outside chance, maybe for Friday.
