Duke forward Maliq Brown is eager to take on a bigger role in the Final Four after battling shoulder injuries that limited his recent playing time. After missing four games due to dislocations, he has returned to practice and feels significantly improved. Although he admits he isn’t at 100%, he is ready to contribute around 15 minutes per game, overcoming mental blocks associated with his injuries to help his team.
Brown said that he is in a better place after a full week of practice and feels good compared to last week, ready for a larger role.
"It was definitely a thought -- just a thought. Obviously just going back from a second injury like that so quick... not trying to think about my injury."
Brown admitted he’s not at 100%, but he is ready to return to close to his old role, averaging over 15 minutes per game.
"I'm not sure of my percentage, but to be honest, I feel good, compared to last week I feel better."
