Henshall injury clouds Duke Jr comeback
The return of David Duke Jr gives the Perth Wildcats a timely boost in their push toward the championship, though an injury to rising young talent Ben Henshall has tempered some of that excitement.
The club confirmed on Friday that Henshall will miss the clash with the Brisbane Bullets due to an ankle injury and will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Sydney.
In Duke Jr’s absence, Henshall and Elijah Pepper have stepped up impressively. The young guard has hit double-figure scoring in seven straight games, lifting his output when the Wildcats have needed it most.
Duke Jr will suit up for the first time since December 28 after recovering from an elbow injury, while Sunday Dech also returns from illness for the must-win contest at RAC Arena.
Perth Wildcats import David Duke in line for NBL return against Brisbane Bullets after training strongly
Perth Wildcats import David Duke junior only has to get through the rest of the week unscathed to return from a long-term elbow injury after training the house down on Wednesday morning.
Duke hasn’t played since injuring his elbow on December 28 but re-entered training last week and has spent all of this week building his fitness and confidence.
Duke did everything he could have hoped for during training on Wednesday morning. He ran the floor as a point-guard, pushed through traffic to get to the rim, defended strongly, made three-pointers and didn’t appear fatigued.
Coach John Rillie said he would play against Brisbane at RAC Arena on Friday if nothing goes wrong between now and then.
