SMU guard Zhuric Phelps is returning to the Mustangs for the 2023-24 season, he announced earlier this year, but he had another big announcement on Wednesday.

The former Duncanville High star is testing the NBA Draft waters, he said on Twitter.

“Dear Mustang Nation, From a young age, I’ve always had a big dream to be a professional basketball player,” he said in his tweet. “By faith, God has propelled me into opportunities to bring me closer to that destiny. I want to thank my family, close friends, coaches and incredible Moody Magic fans who have encouraged and supported me all along the way.
