After five years in purple and white, Greg Morrow will trade in his jersey to dress in the red and white of Toronto 3D Basketball's National Team to compete in a multi-day international tour of China from May 5-15.
Â
The team is comprised of 11 Canadian standouts from a variety of leagues. Joining Morrow on the roster are six other CIS athletes, two NCAA Division I athletes, one current member of the National Basketball League, and a former CIS athlete competing in Australia. Overseeing the team on their nine days of competition is head coach Fatih Akser of George Brown College.
Â
Hosted in the cities of Yunyang, Dazu, and Shenzen, the multi-day tournament will allow Morrow and his teammates to test their skill against the China National B-Team, the 1

Â
Training began on April 24 at Milton's Pan Am Velodrome, and will run until April 30.
Â
Morrow's national appointment comes at the close of a five year career with the Mustangs, during which time he played in 107 regular season games – starting in 70 – to record 1,580 points and average 15.5 per game. A three-time OUA All-Star, his most recent season propelled him to the top of Western's All-Time Scoring list.
