A teenage Blue Devils fan who's been battling brain cancer will have his Make-a-Wish Foundation dream granted at tonight's Battle of the Blues game.

Antonio Sellers has been a basketball fan his whole life. The 16-year-old had been playing on the court himself until last year when he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

But that fight couldn't dull his love for the fighting Blue Devils.

Last week the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted the young basketball player the chance to watch his favorite team in one of the biggest matchups of the year -- Battle of the Blues.

His mom says the news lifted a weight for the whole family.

"We get to breathe, smile, laugh. We're not in a hospital. We're not talking to doctors. Antonio now gets to smile and enjoy life a little bit," said Felicia Sellers.

The surprise also came with kind messages from Coach K and other Duke alum.

Antonio will be at the game tonight, making his dream come true.
