Jahlil Okafor Is Going Back To Duke For His Degree

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jahlil Okafor would be heading into his junior season at Duke University.

Instead, after a National Championship and All-American freshman season, the 6-11 center became a Philadelphia 76er. However, Okafor will be back on campus this summer earning his degree according to the Duke Basketball Twitter account.

Before tearing his right meniscus, Okafor averaged 17.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 53 games as a rookie. The 20-year-old mega-talent, who was involved in multiple off-the-court incidents and numerous trade rumors in his first pro year, seems to have his head in the right place.
