Flagg, the ACC player and newcomer of the year, returned to the bench but did not plan to re-enter the game. He was later seen in a wheelchair, possibly for X-rays. Duke, ranked No. 1, was struggling against Georgia Tech, trailing 26-17 when Flagg was injured. Additionally, teammate Maliq Brown left the game with a shoulder injury and will not return.
