Allen was suspended “indefinitely” on Dec. 22, one day after he tripped an opponent during a game against Elon. That incident was the third time in less than a year that Allen tripped an opponent.
Allen joins Luke Kennard, Jayson Tatum, Amile Jefferson and Harry Giles in Duke’s starting lineup Wednesday.
Giles, a freshman who was the top recruit in the country according to a multiple recruiting services, has played just 23 minutes this season due to injury.
Duke is coming off a loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday night. That game served as the opener of the team’s Atlantic Coast Conference schedule.
