Duke freshman Harry Giles, ESPN’s top-ranked player in this year’s recruiting class, underwent arthropscopic surgery on his left knee Monday, the school announced. He had surgery on his right knee in June.
“We’re very pleased with the outcome of today’s procedure,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a press release. “This is the right step for Harry at the moment as it will help him be 100 percent going forward. Harry has done a tremendous job in rehabilitation over the last year and I’m sure he’ll continue to do the same after this procedure.”
The release stated that the typical recovery time for the procedure is six weeks. Duke opens the 2016-17 season Nov. 11, when it hosts Marist.
