V.J. King finished with college basketball, will pursue professional career

We’ve known for a few weeks now that the 2018-19 season was V.J. King’s final one as a member of the Louisville men’s basketball team.

It appears now that it was also King’s final run in college basketball entirely.

I’d like to announce that I will be forgoing my senior year and taking the next step in pursuing my career as a professional basketball player. To the University of Louisville... Through it all, thank you for everything. I will always be a cardinal! pic.twitter.com/AoOLsXnm4q

King graduated from U of L in May, meaning he has the option of returning to school for one more season and playing immediately as a graduate transfer.
