Cameron Williams loses 14 pounds to a virus before Duke season

Cameron Williams, a freshman forward for Duke basketball, has lost nearly 14 pounds due to a virus, which sidelined him during preseason. He is now focused on regaining his weight and catching up on practice as the Blue Devils prepare for their season opener on November 2. Williams played 13 minutes in Duke's scrimmage win against Belmont on October 8, recording a block and a dunk shortly after entering the game. Head coach Jon Scheyer praised Williams' performance and noted the potential for growth from this point. Duke will have two more exhibition games against Tennessee on October 20 and Kansas on October 25.
