Duquesne Player Sidelined Indefinitely: Duquesne center Almamy Thiero was sidelined indefinitely Friday after being hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs. The 6-9 center was admitted to Mercy Hospital after experiencing discomfort overnight. It is uncertain how long he will need treatment. Thiero transferred from Memphis, where he missed most of last season because of an anterior cruciate ligament injury and missed most of the 2003-04 season because of the same problem. Thiero is averaging 2.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 15 games for the Dukes. [1/21/07]
