Extremely excited to finally announce my next move. I’m headed to Turkey! Can’t wait to compete with @banvitbk this upcoming season. Back at it again with my brother @realjordanmorgan! #DynamicDuo #TheMarathonContinues Also want to give a very special thank you to Petrol Olimpija, all of the staff members, my teammates and all of the people of Ljubljana for embracing me these past two seasons. I’ve made lifelong friendships and I’m proud to have played there. It’s helped prepare me for this next big step! Ljubljana will always feel like home. TIME TO KEEP CLIMBING THAT LADDER!
