Duke basketball will be without Mason Gillis, one of the Blue Devils' top reserves, at Syracuse. Here's what we know.

The Duke men's basketball team announced on Wednesday that senior sharpshooter Mason Gillis won't play at Syracuse due to illness.

Now, though, third-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his squad are missing a different transfer forward in graduate Mason Gillis. The 6-foot-6, 225-pound reserve out of Purdue did not make the trip to Syracuse for the Blue Devils' showdown against the Orange (10-12, 4-7 ACC) at 7 p.m. Wednesday (ESPN2).

Following Duke basketball's win at Wake Forest, Mason Gillis and Kon Knueppel spoke with media members about how the Blue Devils pulled it out.
