Summary
Kimari Robinson posted a public apology Sunday after video showed the Duke cornerback swatting a female trainer’s arm as she tried to reach injured teammate DaShawn Stone during Saturday’s game.
Robinson said he had already apologized to the staff member after the game, adding that fear Stone was seriously hurt drove his reaction but did not excuse it.
The incident came in the third quarter of Duke’s 24-20 loss to North Carolina; Stone was initially attended to with a stretcher nearby but later walked to the locker room under his own power.
Robinson and Stone are redshirt juniors who have played together for 4 years, and the episode landed as Duke dropped its second straight ACC game after a 4-0 start.
