Professional career

Galloway began his professional career immediately after high school, rather than attend college.[2] He moved to Australia and began playing for the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League (NBL) as a development player in 2020, appearing in eight games that season while scoring two points.[2][5] He returned as a development player for the 2021–22 season and scored 13 points in 14 games while helping the team win the championship.[2][5] After the NBL season in 2022, Galloway signed with the Mackay Meteors of NBL1 North, joining his brother, Kyrin.[6]

Galloway was eligible to be selected in the 2022 NBA draft, but was not chosen.[7]

Galloway was part of the full roster for the Kings in the 2022–23 season and helped them repeat as league champions, averaging 5.1 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.[2][8] After the season, he played for the Ipswich Force along with his brother in NBL1 North, averaging 18.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while helping the team win their first league championship, over the Gold Coast Rollers.[2][9] He signed a three-year contract extension with the Kings in March 2023[8] and after briefly joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 2023 NBA Summer League,[10] he played 23 games in the 2023–24 season for the Kings, averaging 10.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22.3 minutes a game.[11]

[edit | edit source]

On March 3, 2024, after the Kings' season ended, Galloway signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).[12][13][14][15] However, he was waived on August 1, only playing for the Wisconsin Herd.[16]

Return to Sydney (2024–present)

[edit | edit source]

On August 26, 2024, Galloway signed a three-year deal to return to the Sydney Kings.[17] On November 2, 2024, he was ruled out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.[18] After undergoing surgery, he was ruled out for the rest of the season on November 20.[19]

Galloway joined the Bankstown Bruins of the NBL1 East for the 2025 season.[20][21]
