With the pain of the Final Four defeat to UConn still fresh, the Duke Blue Devils cannot afford to sit around and weep. Before the summer, the page must be turned to the 2026-27 collegiate basketball season, which includes finalizing the roster.
Last year, rookie guard Cayden Boozer, the brother of future NBA lottery selection Cameron Boozer, played an important part in the Blue Devils’ success, which saw them end the season 35-3. While Cameron is destined for the NBA, Cayden has a decision to make.
Despite his terrible finish to this season, when he made an early turnover against the UConn Huskies, allowing Braylon Mullins to score a three-point basket and send Duke home from the NCAA Tournament, Cayden Boozer will return to the Duke Blue Devils for the 2026-27 college basketball season, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
The rookie guard played in all 38 of Duke’s games last season, starting 11 times. He scored 7. 7 points, 3. 0 assists, and 2. 3 rebounds in 22. 8 minutes each game. Cayden Boozer had a 50% shooting percentage from the field and a 30. 3% three-point percentage.
