There is good news on the Zion injury front: he’s been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right knee sprain and is listed as day-to-day.

Coach K said this: “I think that everyone wants to know his status, and it’s still -- we don’t have a timetable, but the preliminary reports that we have on Zion’s injury are all optimistic -- very, very good. And the fact that it’s a stable condition, a mild sprain, and we’re going to do what everyone would do, and that’s what’s in the best interest of the young man. And Zion will get proper care. He’s getting it today, as this moves along these next 24, 48 hours, we’ll have a better feel for things, but there’s no rush. You want to make sure he’s completely at 100 percent.”
