Duke basketball had a successful 2025 season, winning 35 games, sweeping the ACC championships, and reaching the Final Four under head coach Jon Scheyer. Freshman standout Cooper Flagg led a talented roster, but Duke faces potential lineup changes for the 2025-26 season with key players considering their future in basketball.
As Duke prepares for the upcoming season, top freshmen are expected to enter the 2025 NBA Draft, including Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach. The team will likely see significant roster turnover due to potential early departures for professional opportunities.
Returning players like junior Tyrese Proctor and sophomore Caleb Foster will play crucial roles in shaping Duke's roster for the next season. The team may look to add a veteran lead guard and frontcourt depth to complement incoming talents like Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer, maintaining their competitiveness in the ACC and national title contention.
