10:32 AM PT — Duke fans can exhale at least a little bit … Cooper Flagg just walked gingerly back onto the floor to join his teammates on the bench.

While it seems unlikely he returns to action Thursday — it’s obviously a positive sign that he’s now moving around under his own power.

Look away, Blue Devils fans … Cooper Flagg just hurt his ankle — and based on how he needed a wheelchair to maneuver around after suffering the injury, Duke faithful should be holding its collective breath.

He went up for a rebound … but when he came down, he badly rolled his ankle. He crumpled to the floor in pain — and after needing assistance from teammates to get off the court, he was later seen being pushed around in a wheelchair.

So far, the team’s given no update on his condition — other than announcing he’s doubtful to return to the tilt vs. the Yellow Jackets — but if he were to miss any sort of extended time going forward, it could be catastrophic for Duke’s title hopes.
