Duquesne will need a productive Shawn James, right, on the floor tonight against George Washington.

James, a 6-foot-10 junior who leads the Dukes in scoring and rebounding and is fourth nationally with 4.2 blocks per game, didn't play in the 83-67 win against St. Bonaventure Wednesday because of a bruised left knee cap and a mild medial collateral ligament sprain that occurred in practice Monday.

He practiced yesterday and is due to face the Colonials.
