Ethan has indicated that he will participate in the Chris Mullen 3v3 Basketball Tournament in NY on August 1st at Basketball City. I’m trying to find information on this event and so far, this is all I’ve found: www.basketballcity.com. No mention of him in the press release, though. Sounds like a good event raising money for a good cause - plus Ethan playing basketball!
