A promise to himself drives future Mizzou guard Amari Davis

Amari Davis’ basketball story starts with Lamar Davis’ basketball story, one that cruelly ended way too soon.

Amari is a sophomore guard who played the last two seasons at the University of Green Bay. He’s one of more than 1,200 college players who entered the NCAA transfer portal this year. He’s found a new team at Missouri and will soon settle into a new role on a bigger stage in the Southeastern Conference.

But the purpose stays the same.

Amari plays for Lamar, the big brother, known as "Boo," who never got a chance to fulfill his promise on the court.
