Duke says highly touted freshman Jalen Johnson is forgoing the rest of the season and declaring for the NBA draft. The school announced Johnson’s decision on Monday night. The 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward was averaging 11.2 points and 6.1 rebounds, though he missed three games and significant practice time with a December foot injury in an unexpectedly bumpy season for the Blue Devils. In a statement, Johnson says the move would ensure he’s “100% healthy” for the NBA draft.
