Why was Adam Silver at Duke game? NBA commissioner watched Cooper Flagg in Elite Eight

Adam Silver is one to be found often at a basketball arena around the country night in and night out.

That happens to include showing up at Duke basketball's Elite Eight game on Saturday against No. 2 seed Alabama at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The 11-year NBA Commissioner was shown on TBS's broadcast during the second half of the Blue Devils' eventual 85-65 win over the Crimson Tide.

With its 85-65 win on Saturday, Duke punched its ticket to the Final Four of the men's NCAA Tournament for the 18th time in program history, and the first time under Jon Scheyer.
