DBR Bites #159 – Silent K Hits The Portal Too

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 27: Nikolas Khamenia #14 of the Duke Blue Devils defends against Ruben Prey #17 of the St. John's Red Storm during the Sweet Sixteen round game of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament held at Capital One Arena on March 27, 2026 in Washington, DC.

Another day, another portal decision for a Dukie. Nik Khamenia has decided to check out what else college basketball has to offer. The Duke Basketball Roundup crew says this one stings a bit more than losing Darren Harris. Jason and Donald say they could see glimpses of what Nik could become during his freshman campaign and they are bummed that we won’t get to watch that at Duke, but they also understand why Nik made this decision. And the podcast guys have a warning for worried Duke fans… do not judge the portal until you know both who is going out and who is coming in.

After the break, the guys also dive into a proposed NCAA rules change that could be a seismic shift in eligibility. This change could open the door for another season from Maliq Brown.
