Randolph Morris indicted for not reporting $13 million earned playing in China

Former Kentucky Basketball player Randolph Morris was indicted yesterday on federal charges for failing to report more than $13 million he earned while playing professionally in China from 2010 to 2017.

A federal grand jury in Lexington returned an 11-count indictment against Morris, who played at Kentucky from 2004 to 2007 before heading to the NBA, and eventually, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). If you remember your mid-aughts UK Basketball history, Morris actually declared for the 2005 NBA Draft, but after going undrafted, was able to return to the team when Tubby Smith found an old fax on his desk from Morris saying he only intended to test the waters instead of leaving for good and signing with an agent.
