THE SIDELINES : Henderson to Transfer From Duke

Phil Henderson, a starting guard on Duke’s Final Four basketball team last season, has announced he is transferring from the school for personal reasons, school officials said.

Henderson did not indicate which school he will transfer to. “I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the Duke program, but this is a decision that I feel I have to make for personal reasons,” Henderson said.

Henderson started all 36 games for the 28-8 Blue Devils last season, averaging 12.7 points per game. He also had 93 assists and was the club’s top free-throw shooter at 76.4%. He will have to sit out next season, his senior year, under NCAA transfer regulations and will have one year of eligibility remaining at another institution.
