Isaiah Evans has made one thing crystal clear: his time at Duke is officially over. The former Blue Devils shooting guard, who recently participated in the 2026 NBA Draft Combine alongside projected first-round pick Cameron Boozer, confirmed to reporters on Wednesday that he has no plans to return to collegiate basketball.

"I'm fully in," Evans said simply when asked about his commitment to the NBA draft process. He added that he hasn't been in touch with head coach Jon Scheyer or the Duke coaching staff regarding a potential return—a statement that leaves little room for interpretation.

Evans' decision comes after a strong sophomore season in Durham, where he averaged 15 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per game. He also led the team in made three-pointers while shooting a solid 36.1% from beyond the arc—numbers that caught the attention of NBA scouts and helped solidify his draft stock.

While some fans might hold out hope for a change of heart, Evans' departure aligns with Duke's increasingly crowded backcourt situation. The Blue Devils are set to welcome Cayden Boozer, Caleb Foster, and Dame Sarr next season, with the possibility of John Blackwell also joining the mix. With that kind of depth, Evans' path to significant minutes would have been far from guaranteed.

For now, all eyes are on the draft combine, where Evans will look to build on his impressive college resume and prove he's ready for the next level. Whether you're a Duke fan or just a basketball enthusiast, this is a player worth watching as he takes the next step in his journey.
