The Maryland Terrapins don't have a lot of height on their roster, which makes Alex Len one of the more irreplaceable players on the whole squad. That makes the news from Mark Turgeon regarding his ankle injury pretty good.
Turgeon: "I expect [Alex Len] to play Wednesday. How much and how healthy he is, we’ll see."

Len left the game against Temple over the weekend with an ankle injury and did not return. I would not be surprised to see Len play, but I also wouldn't be shocked if Turgeon held him out of the game as a precautionary measure. But this is the Duke game, so he might pull all of his punches. They'll need him in this game more than any other pretty much.
