Listen up, Blue Devil Nation! It’s time to crank every dial to max volume—because **Duke’s latest NBA export just stole the show in summer league and walked away with MVP hardware that cements his place among the hardwood elite.
Kyle Filipowski, fresh from his dazzling Duke tenure, didn’t just play in the NBA’s 2K26 Summer League—he owned it. With the Utah Jazz, Filipowski exploded onto the stage and seized MVP honors from the jaws of the fiercely competitive Las Vegas showcase.
Let that sink in: Duke continues to churn out winners who dominate at every level. Filipowski’s sensational summer wasn’t a stats sheet line—it was a statement. He posted jaw-dropping averages: 29.3 points per game, lightning-fast efficiency at 56.1% from the field, lethal 39.1% from beyond the arc, and an almost personal foul-proof 62.5% at the line. He also brought the boards (7.7 rebounds) and the playmaking (2.3 assists) in every outing.
What’s more? Kyle wasn’t just a one-man wrecking ball—he was the only Duke representative on the Summer League First Team, while fellow Blue Devil Kon Knueppel made his mark by earning Second Team honors after lighting it up for the Hornets.
This isn’t just success—it’s tradition. Duke’s pipeline of pro-ready talent keeps churning out stars who arrive in Durham, evolve under blue-and-white, and leave with rings, laurels, and MVP trophies. Filipowski’s MVP is the latest shining gem in that crown.
From the moment he stepped on campus to the closing buzzer in Vegas, Kyle played with the calm of a seasoned general and the fire of a young phenom. His MVP stamp is proof: Duke’s legacy on the hardwood isn’t confined to college gyms—it marches on under bright lights and pro banners.
You hear that? That’s the sound of Duke glory echoing yet again. Buckle up—because the Blue Devil machine is roaring louder than ever, and Kyle Filipowski just turned it up to eleven.
