Duke forward Zion Williamson's knee sprain caused him to miss his fourth straight contest - and likely the final home game of his the Blue Devils career - against Wake Forest on Tuesday.

Williamson suffered the injury in the first minute against North Carolina on Feb. 20, causing him to miss Duke's next three games. The Blue Devils fell to the Tar Heels 88-72 and have since gone 2-1.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters that Williamson is in the final step of a four-phase recovery process, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

It remains unknown whether the freshman will be ready for Duke's regular-season finale against North Carolina on Saturday.

The 18-year-old is averaging 21.6 points and 8.8 rebounds in 26 appearances this season.
