Langston Galloway is no longer in the NBA, but he has to be enjoying his basketball journey at the moment. The 32-year-old was a part of the USA Select Team that got to have a three-day training camp with the Team USA men’s basketball team. That means playing with LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, and other star players. He is still practicing with the team and even got to play against Serbia in an exhibition game (Galloway hit a three-pointer).
With Team USA’s last exhibition game taking place on Monday versus Germany, it will be Galloway’s last time wearing the USA jersey. He will not be participating with the team in the Olympics. Playing with some of the NBA greats may have given him more of an itch to get back into the league though.

Langston Galloway Hopes For Another NBA Shot
Galloway spoke with Andscape’s Marc J. Spears about his experience practicing with Team USA. They spoke of how awesome it has been playing with that collection of talent, meeting Vice President Kamala Harris, and his shoe line called Ethics The Brand. Spears also asked if the Team USA experience can help get him back in the NBA.
“That is definitely the goal.” Galloway said. “If I can get an opportunity from any team to lace them back up in the NBA, that’s the goal. I have a few [European] offers on the table. I’m just waiting for a couple of things to unfold with the EuroLeague, EuroCup situation team-wise, and then my team as well that I played for this past year. Obviously, they’ve offered me, but I’m just waiting for a couple of other teams, EuroLeague to unfold. Then, I can make a decision and see what is next.”
Last season was the first of Galloway’s career where he played overseas. He played for Reggio Emilia in Italy where he averaged 16.9 points in 30 outings.

Finally, he was last seen with the Indiana Pacers during the preseason in October 2022.
