UConn’s Alex Karaban declares for NBA Draft

STORRS, Conn. (WTNH) — Another University of Connecticut basketball player is entering their name into the NBA Draft.

Forward Alex Karaban will enter the draft while still maintaining his college eligibility, he posted on X on Thursday.

In the post, he thanked his family, friends and coaches.

“You guys have pushed me not only to be a better player, but also have helped me become a better man,” he wrote. “My experience here has exceeded my expectations and I am blessed to be a part of back-to-back national championships.”

He’s the second Husky to declare his intention for the NBA Draft following the team’s NCAA Tournament win. Last week, Donovan Clingan said he was entering the draft.
