Mandatory Credit: Craig Strobeck-Imagn Images Indiana wing Mackenzie Mgbako announced Monday that he is entering the transfer portal while also considering entering the NBA draft.
The portal opened for men's basketball players Monday and will close on April 22.
Mgbako played two seasons for Mike Woodson at Indiana, but Woodson stepped down at the end of the season and the Hoosiers hired Darian DeVries from West Virginia.
"Given recent changes in the coaching staff, I have decided in consultation with my family that testing the waters of the NBA is the best course of action," Mgbako wrote in a post on Instagram. "In choosing this path, I am able to retain my eligibility in the transfer portal while also keeping an eye on developments within the Indiana program."
Mgbako averaged 12.2 points per game in each of his two seasons in Bloomington. He also recorded 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his 65 appearances (64 starts) for the Hoosiers.
Mgbako was considered a top-10 recruit out of high school in the Class of 2023.
