SPOKANE, Wash. — Top international basketball prospect Alex Toohey has decommitted from Gonzaga and will stay in Australia to play for the Sydney Kings in the Australian National Basketball League Next Stars program.
The 19-year-old basketball star told ESPN he made his decision based on the opportunity to play in his home country and the prestige of the Next Starts program.
Toohey has represented Australia in the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) competition and has been finding success in NBL1, a semi-professional basketball league in Australia.
He is the first Australian player to join the FIBA Next Stars program since Oklahoma City Thunder star Josh Giddey.
