Duke Blue Devils fans have every reason to celebrate today, as star guard Tyrese Proctor has officially announced he will return to Durham for another season under head coach Jon Scheyer. The decision comes after weeks of speculation about his potential jump to the NBA.
Proctor, who averaged 13.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 4.1 rebounds last season, took to social media late Friday to share the news. “We’re not done yet. Let’s run it back,” he wrote, alongside a highlight montage and a message of gratitude to Duke Nation.
The announcement instantly ignited a wave of excitement across social platforms, with the Cameron Crazies and Duke alumni alike celebrating the unexpected boost to the team’s 2025–26 outlook.
Coach Jon Scheyer praised Proctor’s decision, stating, “Tyrese is a special player and an even better leader. His return is huge for our program and our goals next season.”
With Proctor back in the lineup, Duke is poised to make a strong run in the ACC and beyond, combining his experience with a promising incoming recruiting class. The Blue Devils are expected to enter the season as one of the top-ranked teams in the country.
