Goes for 19 points Monday Knueppel posted 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and three steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 74-64 victory over North Carolina State.

Impact Knueppel has been one of Duke's best players all season long, and there's a strong argument to say he's been the team's second-best player behind Cooper Flagg. The freshman has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine appearances, but in the lone game he didn't do it, he went scoreless against Boston College on Jan. 18. Knueppel is averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Impact Duke cruised to another easy win Tuesday, and while Cooper Flagg wasn't his usual dominant self in this victory, Knueppel managed to make his presence felt. The freshman carried the Blue Devils on offense with his best scoring output of the season and extended his productive run to six straight games with at least 13 points. He's averaging 16.7 points per game in that span.

Scores 10 points Tuesday Knueppel recorded 10 points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 72-46 win over UIW.

Impact Knueppel didn't have his best shooting performance, but the freshman posted another impressive outing. He's scored in double digits in eight of his 10 games so far in 2024-25, averaging 12.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in his first taste of college action.

Scores 11 points Friday Knueppel closed with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 70-48 victory over Seattle.

Impact Knueppel was one of two Duke players who scored in double digits in this game, but not due to a lack of efficiency, but rather because Duke limited all the starters, except Cooper Flagg, to 25 or fewer minutes due to the nature of the win. Knueppel has been very consistent for Duke in his freshman and has scored in double digits in all but one of his seven outings in 2024-25 so far.
