Cameron Boozer isn't the only five-star Duke freshman who will likely be moving on this offseason.

On Wednesday, forward Nik Khamenia revealed that he will enter the transfer portal after one season with the Blue Devils, as was first reported by DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony. Khamenia, a top-20 prospect in the 2025 class from Studio City, California, made 38 appearances with five starts this season.

He averaged 19.8 minutes per game, but the 6-foot-8 small forward averaged just 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds. He shot 34% from three-point range on 103 total attempts.

Khamenia scored in double figures six times, notching his season high of 14 points on three different occasions, most recently against Clemson in the ACC tournament semifinal. However, he averaged just five points per game for Duke in the NCAA tournament.

A versatile player with a high-level recruiting pedigree, Khamenia will certainly draw quite a bit of attention in the transfer portal market.
