Former Indiana Basketball Player Stuck in Ukraine Amid Russia-Ukraine Crisis

Maurice Creek, a former basketball player with Indiana and George Washington University currently playing overseas in Ukraine, told reporters Friday he is stuck in Ukraine amid Russia’s attacks.

“I’m terrified, I’m terrified,” Creek told Scott Abraham of ABC 7 News in Washington DC. “I’m not just that because I’m in it, I’m saying it because it’s real. I’m not gonna lie, I’m terrified right now. It’s a terrible time, so I can use all the comfort and need all the love and support I can get.”

Creek played for Indiana from 2009 to ’13 and George Washington in the ’13-’14 season.
