NCAA Womens Basketball: Duke at Pittsburgh

After having an injury-plagued career, and facing her seventh surgery, Duke sophomore Lyneé Belton has decided to walk away from basketball. She announced her decision on Instagram.

After much thought and considering that after this summer that I will have undergone seven surgeries it has been decided that I will not continue to play basketball. It saddens my heart but making this choice I'm sure my body will heal the way it needs to and will thank me in the long run. Although this is a scary feeling, I am excited to see where God takes me with the guidance through his hands. It's been a good run Duke and thanks for everything you have given me. Jeremiah 29:11
