DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- After 962 days, Kyra Lambert got back on the court for Duke and drained her first field goal since March 2017.
It wasn't just any field goal, it was a 60-foot shot at the buzzer.

"Waiting for so long and finally being out there with my team was, for lack of a better word incredible," Lambert said. "God is good and I think that shot was a testament to what he's done throughout that process for me."
Lambert tore her ACL and had three knee surgeries. It was that time spent watching the game through a different lens that she believes will help her become an even better player.
