Krzyzewski said after the game that Stanley will be examined further on Saturday.
A return right after Christmas would make Stanley available for the majority of the top-ranked Blue Devils’ ACC schedule. Duke (7-1) has conference games Dec. 6 vs. Virginia Tech and Dec. 31 vs. Boston College.
The 6-6 Stanley scored a season-low four points in 17 minutes before exiting Friday. He started each of Duke’s first eight games, averaging 12.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists.
