    Nikolas Khamenia, the 6-foot-8 four-star forward out of Harvard Westlake, is headed to Duke.

    Khamenia committed to Duke on Tuesday, choosing the Blue Devils over Arizona, UCLA, Gonzaga, and North Carolina. He is ranked the No. 5 power forward in the Class of 2025, per 247Sports.com.

    “I decided to commit to Duke University,” he announced on 247. “It just felt like the place for me. Coach Scheyer has a belief in me and my basketball abilities, and it just felt like home.

    “Just expect a winner. I’m going to give it everything I can…..I’m coming to work my butt off. And ultimately, I’m coming to win a national championship.”

    He joins Cameron and Cayden Boozer in Duke’s 2025 class.
