DURHAM, N.C.(AP) -- Duke guard Nolan Smith will sit out two games
because he played in an unsanctioned summer league.

Smith said Tuesday night after the Blue Devils' 84-48 exhibition
victory over Findlay that he was suspended because he played a
game with overseas players and professionals over the summer
near his hometown of Washington, D.C.

The junior will miss the opener against North
Carolina-Greensboro on Nov. 13 and a game three nights later
against Coastal Carolina. He didn't play in the first half
against Findlay so his teammates could adjust to playing without
him.

The Blue Devils already have a thin backcourt - Smith and senior
Jon Scheyer are the only returning guards with significant
experience. Smith averaged 8.4 points last season.
