DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Star freshman point guard Kyrie Irving will be lost to top-ranked Duke indefinitely with an injury to a toe on his right foot, the team said Wednesday.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski said Irving, who has been named the ACC Rookie of the Week three times this season, will need time to heal.

"Kyrie is going to miss an undetermined amount of time with the toe injury," Krzyzewski said. "Our medical staff will continue to monitor the recovery process and he will return to action once it has sufficiently healed."

The 6-foot-2 guard injured his toe Saturday as the Blue Devils posted an 82-70 win over Butler in a rematch of the 2010 national championship game.

He was averaging 17.4 points and 5.1 assists per game.
