There was a lack of drama around the Duke basketball offseason and the decisions surrounding players on whether they should return to the program or move to a new chapter in their careers.
However, the one player that had some questions surrounding him was freshman guard Isaiah Evans before he ultimately decided to return to the Blue Devils.
Evans had been rumored to be returning to Duke, entering the transfer portal, and declaring for the NBA Draft at various points of the offseason. Eventually, he did declare for the draft but withdrew his name from consideration days before the start of the NBA Draft Combine – prior to already announcing his return to the Blue Devils for his sophomore season.
