Congratulations to Duke Deen who has signed a one year deal with the Bakken Bears in Denmark for the 2025-26 season.

The Shreveport, Louisiana native and Bradley University alum will look to help lead the Bears into the prestigious Basketball Champions League through a qualification tournament beginning in September.

If the Bears are unsuccessful in their qualification attempt, Duke and Bakken will play in the FIBA Europe Cup international competition on top of their domestic schedule.

Duke is coming off of a prolific collegiate career at Bradley that saw the Shreveport, Louisiana native win 70% of his games over 3 years while twice being named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference First-Team.

Excited for a big first step for Duke!
