Former Univ. of Kentucky hoops star Isaac Humphries -- who now plays in Australia's NBL -- revealed he's gay in a super emotional talk with his teammates on Tuesday.
Humphries sat down with his Melbourne United squad inside of a team meeting room to make the announcement ... and he fought back tears as he explained the truth about his sexuality.
The 6-foot-11, 255-pound center said hiding his real identity had taken a massive toll on him, and it nearly led to death by suicide a couple years ago.
"I fell into a very dark place, a very lonely place," the 24-year-old said.
