Who is Kyle Filipowski's brother, Matt? Closer look at the Duke center's personal life

Duke center Kyle Filipowski is one of the more recognizable college hoops stars. As the undisputed best player on the Blue Devils, he is expected to help his team go deep into the postseason once more for a chance to bring the national title back to Durham after eight long years.

This fame has also enticed fans to delve deeper into the personal life of the Westtown, NY native.

Who is Kyle Filipowski's brother, Matt?

Matt is Kyle Filipowski's twin brother. He's also a college basketball player at the center position for the Harvard Crimson in the Ivy League.

The 7-foot slotman, however, is unlike his brother in that he's not the #1 guy on the Crimson. He's part of the team's second or even third unit, barely seeing action and having stats that don't look too impressive. He has only played in five total games in his college hoops career so far with 1.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 50% FG shooting in two seasons.

Kyle Filipowski talked about growing up with his twin brother in an episode of Duke University's The Brotherhood in-house podcast, saying (via On3):

“Especially during Covid, too. I hate to bring that up, but he was kind of the only one that I could really play against. And you know, we were very different, too in terms of play style. So it was cool to just stay a little entertained and keep each other at each others best.”
