Following a 2023 NCAA championship with Louisiana State University (LSU), standout point guard Alexis “The Show” Morris has taken her talents to the legendary Harlem Globetrotters for its 2024 World Tour.
Morris made her Globetrotter debut on Feb. 9 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts — the birthplace of basketball. According to LSU, the star athlete’s recent deal with the organization made her the seventh woman to join in the team’s 97-year history.
“I’m excited to join the Harlem Globetrotters and want to thank the leadership team for giving me an opportunity to grow my personal and professional career while playing the game I love,” Morris shared. Highlighting the Globetrotters’ “level of basketball and entertainment,” she embraced the challenge to carry on their legacy.
Globetrotters President Keith Dawkins hailed the signing: “The Harlem Globetrotters have a storied history of signing some of the world’s most accomplished and coveted talent…and now, Alexis Morris.” He cited stars from Wilt Chamberlain to Lynette Woodard amidst the expanding “global basketball landscape.” Signing Alexis “reflects our commitment to pursuing the best ballers from around the world,” Dawkins added.
