The Duke basketball family will expand later this year.
According to a Saturday Instagram post from former women’s basketball player Lexi Gordon, she and [autotag]Wendell Moore Jr[/autotag]. will welcome a baby girl near the end of the year.
“Baby girl you are so unbelievably loved already,” Gordon captioned the post with a video of their friends and family at a baby shower.

Gordon averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game across her one season with the program with a season-high of 23 points against Wake Forest.
Moore, for his half of the power couple, spent three seasons with the men’s basketball team from 2019-22. He took a leap as a junior, averaging 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game while helping to lead the Blue Devils to the Final Four.
