Early life

Professional career

Sydney Kings / Mackay Meteors / Ipswich Force (2020–2024)

Galloway began his professional career immediately after high school, rather than attend college. [2] He moved to Australia and began playing for the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League (NBL) as a development player in 2020, appearing in eight games that season while scoring two points. [2] [5] He returned as a development player for the 2021–22 season and scored 13 points in 14 games while helping the team win the championship. [2] [5] After the NBL season in 2022, Galloway signed with the Mackay Meteors of NBL1 North, joining his brother, Kyrin. [6]

Galloway was eligible to be selected in the 2022 NBA draft, but was not chosen. [7]

Galloway was part of the full roster for the Kings in the 2022–23 season and helped them repeat as league champions, averaging 5.1 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. [2] [8] After the season, he played for the Ipswich Force along with his brother in NBL1 North, averaging 18.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while helping the team win their first league championship, over the Gold Coast Rollers. [2] [9] He signed a three-year contract extension with the Kings in March 2023 [8] and after briefly joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 2023 NBA Summer League, [10] he played 23 games in the 2023–24 season for the Kings, averaging 10.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22.3 minutes a game. [11]

Wisconsin Herd (2024)

On March 3, 2024, after the Kings' season ended, Galloway signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). [12] [13] [14] [15] However, he was waived on August 1, only playing for the Wisconsin Herd. [16]

Return to Sydney (2024–present)

On August 26, 2024, Galloway signed a three-year deal to return to the Sydney Kings. [17] On November 2, 2024, he was ruled out indefinitely with a shoulder injury. [18]

Personal life

Galloway's brother, Kyrin, is also a basketball player. [9] Galloway has an American father Erin and an Australian mother Kylie. Both his parents played basketball collegiately at the University of Hawaii, after his mother transferred from San Jose State. [21] His father played professionally, including for the Harlem Globetrotters. His mother played professionally in Townsville, after graduating from college with a biology degree in 2000. [22] After initially considering a career in coaching, Kylie instead chose to officiate basketball, at the encouragement of her collegiate teammate, Maj Forsberg, a six-time Women’s Final Four official. Like Forsberg, Kylie Galloway is also currently a NCAA women’s basketball official. Galloway has officiated in multiple conferences throughout the nation such as the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Big East, American Athletic, C-USA, Sun Belt, Missouri Valley, Atlantic-10, Atlantic Sun, Ohio Valley, and Southern throughout her career, which began in 2008.
