The 2023 NBA Finals are set to tip off Thursday in Denver and three former IU players are on the rosters competing for the Larry O’Brien championship trophy.
Thomas Bryant (Denver), Cody Zeller (Miami) and Victor Oladipo (Miami) are attempting to become the first former IU player on an NBA championship roster since OG Anunoby in 2019.
Anunoby did not see the floor in the 2019 NBA finals, but was on the Toronto roster.
Last season, Juwan Morgan was on the Boston team that fell to Golden State in six games.
Of the three Hoosiers in this year’s Finals, only Zeller figures to play a role in determining the NBA champion.
