HARTFORD, Connecticut — Duke transfer Nik Khamenia made an immediate impact in his first game for the Connecticut Huskies, helping the team secure a victory over the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs at PeoplesBank Arena on November 2, 2026.

Wearing the No. 4 jersey, Khamenia showed his offensive versatility by driving to the rim against Gardner-Webb's defense, including a notable matchup against Sam Nosakhare, who wears No. 32 for the Runnin' Bulldogs.

The game marked Khamenia's official debut for UConn after transferring from Duke, adding depth to the Huskies' backcourt for the 2026-27 NCAA men's basketball season.
