It was a Monday afternoon on Martin Luther King Day and Devan Downey was in a familiar place – a gym.
The South Carolina Hall of Fame guard was taking in some high school basketball at the Crescent Construction MLK Bash at Eau Claire High School. A few hours earlier, Downey was working out at USC, trying to get ready for his upcoming season in Venezuela.
“I’m always in the gym. Any time I’m around, I’m in somebody’s gym,” Downey said.
Downey still has the tenacity and work ethic that endeared him to USC fans in his three seasons.
