Duke Re-Signs Former Big Man: A Key Player They Can’t Afford to Lose

In a critical decision for their upcoming season, Duke Basketball has successfully re-signed former center Christian Reeves, ensuring the 7-foot-2 big man will stay with the Blue Devils after his brief tenure at Clemson. This move is crucial for head coach Jon Scheyer, who recognizes the importance of retaining experienced frontcourt depth, especially with the team’s current roster needs.

Reeves, a three-star recruit who originally joined Duke, faced limited playing time and battled injuries during his first years under Scheyer. After transferring to Clemson for the 2024 season, Reeves played a supporting role, averaging 1.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in 29 games. Despite his modest statistics, his size and potential make him a valuable asset for the Blue Devils.
