Duke has announced that star freshman Marvin Bagley III will miss his third straight game when the 12th-ranked Blue Devils play at No. 11 Clemson on Sunday.

Bagley is suffering from what Duke is calling a “mild right knee sprain suffered during the first half of its loss at North Carolina on Feb. 8. He has since missed games against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, both Blue Devils victories.
