Duke freshman forward Marvin Bagley III, the ACC's top scorer and rebounder, will be available to play Saturday against Syracuse (6:15 p.m. ET, ESPN), the university announced.

Bagley has been out since Feb. 8, when he sprained his right knee against North Carolina, and coach Mike Krzyzewski had described Bagley's status as "a day-to-day thing."
