International Impact
A wave of former Morgan State Bears is carving out professional careers across continents, turning the university’s basketball program into a launching pad for international talent. From the Netherlands to Canada, alumni are not only participating but also shaping the narratives of their respective leagues.
In the Dutch league, guard Malik Miller has emerged as a reliable double‑double threat. In a recent outing for Groningen, he contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds, a performance that reflects his season‑long average of 17.4 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.
Half a world away, forward Troy Baxter Jr. is making his mark with the Southern Districts Spartans in Australia. He logged 12 points and three assists in a recent game, fitting into a broader line of 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest.
In Canada, guard Stanley Davis Jr. helped the Edmonton Stingers clinch a victory in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. His stat line of 12 points, five rebounds and four assists in that game aligns with his season averages of 12.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
These stories illustrate a pattern of Morgan State alumni thriving in diverse basketball ecosystems, whether in Qatar’s Al Shamal, New Zealand’s Polzela or Brazil’s Paraíba. Their contributions extend beyond statistics, enriching the global perception of the program and inspiring the next generation of student‑athletes.
