Summer practices are supposed to be about building chemistry, establishing tempo, and figuring out early rotations. But something strange caught the attention of fans watching closely during Duke’s latest session: one player’s body language said a lot… without saying a word.
In a short clip released by Duke’s official media team, Cameron Boozer is seen walking off the court after a set of drills — shoulders slouched, expression tight, eyes focused downward. Seconds later, Sebastian Wilkins appears to exchange a quick glance with Nikolas Khamenia, followed by a whispered comment and a smirk.
Coincidence? Maybe. But this fanbase doesn’t miss anything.
On message boards and social media, fans are buzzing:
> “Something’s off with Boozer — that look wasn’t just fatigue.”
“I noticed Dame Sarr didn’t dap him up after that drill. What’s going on?”
“Wilkins looks like he’s staking his claim already.”
To be clear: Duke’s practices are notoriously intense, and moments like this can be totally normal. Still, in a summer where Coach Jon Scheyer is expected to mold a fresh rotation from a mix of stars and newcomers, every body language cue feels loaded with meaning.
Is Boozer frustrated with his role? Was it just a bad rep? Or is this the beginning of a larger dynamic shift inside the Blue Devils’ camp?
Whatever the answer, this Duke team is far from boring. And summer practice just got a lot more interesting.
