If all goes well and the snow does not delay him, Jim Carr will be back by his son’s side sometime early Thursday morning.
After flying back from the Rutgers-Cincinnati game Wednesday night and landing at Newark Airport at 2:30 a.m., Carr, the Scarlet Knights’ Director of Basketball Operations, will hustle to another gate for a 5 o’clock flight to Durham, N.C.
From there he will head to the Duke Medical Center to be with his wife, Natalie, and their two-and-half-year old son, Brayden.
“It’s unfortunate for the little guy,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s gone through a heck of an experience and his family, his parents, have been spectacular in their support.”
