Cayden Boozer, a guard for Duke University, has confirmed his return for the 2026-27 season, building on a strong freshman year. After stepping into the starting lineup late in the season due to an injury to teammate Caleb Foster, Boozer played a pivotal role in helping Duke secure the ACC Tournament title. He averaged 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 50% from the field. Notably, he scored 16 points in both the semifinals and finals of the conference tournament and achieved a season-high of 19 points in the NCAA Tournament against Siena. His return is particularly significant for Duke, as they recently lost fellow guard Darren Harris to the transfer portal, leaving Boozer with an opportunity for increased playing time in his sophomore year under head coach Jon Scheyer.
