***UPDATE TWO -- Confirmed Jefferson has foot injury. No word on severity yet***

***UPDATE --- Jefferson has returned from locker room***

Duke graduate senior Amile Jefferson left Saturday's game against Boston College with an undisclosed lower right leg injury. It appeared that Jefferson stepped on the foot of an opposing player late in the first half, leading to his being looked at by trainer Jose Fonseca on the bench and then retreating to the locker room. Fonseca returned to the bench a few minutes later without Jefferson, a sign that Jefferson's injury needed more treatment than could be delivered right then.

Jefferson received a medical redshirt last season, his senior year, after missing the final 27 games of the season following a fractured right foot. He played just nine games before injuring the foot, the same one he hurt today.

When the team returned to the court for halftime warmups, Jefferson was not with them.
