Nears double-double Friday Maluach accumulated 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 74-71 win over North Carolina.

Impact Maluach fouled out late in the second half, but there's no question the young big man played a huge role in the team's win with his excellent two-way display. The big man should play a prominent role in the ACC Tournament final on Saturday, regardless if it's against Louisville or Clemson.

Strong two-way presence Maluach amassed 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and four blocks over 24 minutes during Thursday's 78-70 win over Georgia Tech.

Impact Several role players had to step up for the Blue Devils on Thursday following the injury of Cooper Flagg (ankle), but Maluach was a pleasant surprise on both ends of the court. The big man finished second in the team in scoring while also leading Duke in rebounds and blocks. He'll need to be at his best in Friday's semifinal against UNC.

Pulls down 14 rebounds Maluach racked up four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 93-60 win over Wake Forest.

Impact Maluach didn't have his best shooting performance after nailing just two of his seven shots from the floor, but the Blue Devils don't really need him to dominate on the offensive end of the court. He did make an impact on the glass, with his 14 boards representing the third time since the beginning of February, and the sixth time all season long, in which he grabbed double-digit boards.

Regular role in rivalry game Maluach chipped in six points (3-5 FG) and six rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 87-70 win over North Carolina.

Impact Maluach continues to be a better real-life player than fantasy asset, as raw freshman serves primarily as a rim protector while cleaning up on the glass. Even with his primary backup, Maliq Brown, sidelined for four games with a knee injury, Maluach's typical box score numbers remained relatively unchanged. Brown's return at least appears like it will cut into the minutes of Mason Gillis, rather than Maluach. Also of note, Maluach's inability to record a block Saturday snapped a streak of 10 consecutive games with at least one rejection.

Pulls down 15 rebounds Maluach recorded 12 points (6-7 FG), 15 rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 89-54 victory over Miami (FL).

Impact Maluach was efficient on both ends of the court and not only recorded his third double-double of the season. He's also recorded that feat in back-to-back games for the first time in 2024-25. A freshman who's a legit NBA prospect, Maluach is trending in the right direction offensively and has scored in double digits in three games in a row, representing his longest streak of the campaign.

Comes close to double-double Maluach ended Tuesday's 76-47 victory over Pittsburgh with 11 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 25 minutes.

Impact Maluach finished just two rebounds shy of recording a double-double, and the freshman big man was also efficient from the field after missing just one of his five attempts. The 7-foot-2 big man has scored in double digits in three of his last six outings, averaging 9.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in that span.

Leads Duke in scoring Tuesday Maluach ended with 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 FT) and seven rebounds over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 72-46 win over UIW.

Impact Duke didn't have to work hard to secure a comfortable 26-point win Tuesday. That said, it's worth noting that Maluach was the best player on the court for the Blue Devils, even ahead of Cooper Flagg and Tyrese Proctor. The 17-point haul marked a season-high mark for Maluach, who also snapped a streak of five consecutive outings in single digits with this performance.
