When asked about his future in wrestling, Freedom answered:
“I already have an offer. I’m just trying to figure out what is going to happen with this basketball thing. Obviously, I’m 29 and I want to play another like seven years in this league. I’m just going to figure out my basketball career first and then see what’s going to happen but I already have an offer, it’s just I’m not taking it right now. I love basketball, I don’t want to quit basketball.”
Freedom previously won and lost the 24/7 Title from and to R-Truth on the September 9, 2019 episode of Raw from Madison Square Garden.
The former New York Knicks player has trained in wrestling with Diamond Dallas Page that was highlighted in a short documentary by The Score in 2019.
