Nelson Injured in Win: Duke advanced to the finals of the NIT Season Tip-Off with a 78-68 win over Drexel, but they may be without a key guard for the finals on Friday and beyond. Sophomore guard DeMarcus Nelson started the game and played eight minutes before coming out with an injured ankle. Hoopville has learned that the preliminary diagnosis is a hairline fracture of the ankle, and Nelson is at a hospital in New York getting X-rays for further evaluation. Nelson, who has started three of the Blue Devils’ first four games, entered the night as the team’s fourth-leading scorer, averaging 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. [11/23/05]
