What is Jon Scheyer hiding behind those Cameron doors?
Next Tuesday, we get to find out.
Duke basketball is cracking open the curtain—and the hype is already exploding. For one night only, fans will get an up-close look at the 2025-26 Blue Devils, a squad loaded with top-tier talent and burning with unfinished business after last year’s Final Four heartbreak.
It’s not just practice. It’s a statement.

Why This Practice Actually Matters
Forget the word “scrimmage.” This is a sneak peek into the storm brewing in Durham.
Head coach Jon Scheyer enters Year Four with more experience, more expectations—and perhaps his most dangerous roster yet. With Isaiah Evans back as the confident sophomore sharpshooter, and the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation headlined by electric newcomers, this year’s team might be Scheyer’s best shot at cutting down nets.
Duke is already expected to begin the season ranked inside the top 10, and if they look anything like the hype suggests, don’t be shocked if that number climbs quickly.
The mission is clear: Get back to the Final Four—and finish the job.
👀 What to Watch During the Open Practice
How sharp is Isaiah Evans looking in Year Two?
Can the new freshmen live up to their massive billing?
Who’s emerging as the team’s vocal leader with Jeremy Roach gone?
Will Scheyer show off new offensive wrinkles?
With the season-opener set for November 4 against the Texas Longhorns in Charlotte, this is Duke’s first real showcase—and fans get it for free.
This isn’t just another practice.
This is Cameron Indoor, lights on, eyes watching, and the future of Duke basketball stepping into focus.
If you bleed blue, you don’t want to miss it.
Get there early. Get loud.
And get ready… because something special might be about to start.
