    Khaman Maluach Guesses Adele, Jennifer Lopez’s Name From Their Pictures

    Maluach recognised the likes of Beyonce, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, and Adele from the pictures on the wall. However, the South Sudan basketball star could not name Bad Bunny, Justin Timberlake, Elton John, and Kane Brown from their pictures. 

    The Duke star, however, recognized Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and American rapper J Cole from their pictures, although he did confuse Justin Timberlake for Maroon 5.

    Fans did see the funny side of the game, though, with some quoting some of the words Maluach said.

    Khaman Maluach Shining for Duke

    When he is not guessing artists’ names, Maluach is balling for the Blue Devils. The South Sudanese star has been one of Duke’s best players this season, averaging 8.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. 

    His combination with Cooper Flagg has been key to Duke’s success this season. The two players combined for an alley-oop in Duke’s win over the Illinois Fighting Illini on Feb. 23, 2025. 

    Maluach will hope to continue his impressive form when Duke returns to action against Miami on Feb. 26, 2025.
