I don't think I've ever seen this happen in college basketball the last few decades, but Duke decided to play freshman Joey Baker after planning to redshirt him. Baker was originally the class of 2018, but elected to repeat his eighth grade year at Fayetteville Trinity Christian. Duke convinced him to enroll this season and redshirt, and forego being in the class of 2019. Then 26 games later, he gets in for five scoreless minutes against Syracuse.
