ACC won't suspend Duke's Allen for tripping incident vs. Florida State
Duke guard Grayson Allen will not be suspended by the ACC after he was caught tripping an opponent Thursday for the second time this month.
Instead, the conference scolded the Blue Devils star through a public reprimand.

The Blue Devils won the contest against Florida State, 80-65, but Allen's trip of Xavier Rathan-Mayes was the subject of conversation after the game.
On Friday, Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton told ESPN's Andy Katz that Duke's Mike Krzyzewski called the team to apologize on Allen's behalf.
"He acknowledged the fact and apologized to our staff and to let Xavier know too," Hamilton said. "We accepted it and moved on. It's the end of it. I was proud of the way Xavier handled it. We've done moved on. We don't want to let it become an issue. It's over.''
