Duke basketball players Kyle Filipowski and Jared McCain have entered the 2024 NBA Draft, leaving college basketball.
Filipowski, a 7-foot sophomore, earned second-team AP All-American honors and led Duke in scoring with a 16.4 points average over two seasons.
Freshman guard Jared McCain, who averaged 14.3 points, is anticipated to be a mid-first round pick in the NBA draft.

Despite the loss of two stars, Duke basketball remains strong, introducing the No. 1 recruiting class for 2024 under coach Jon Scheyer.
