Tulsa's Nikita Konstantynovskyi has been dealing with a lot on the hardwood this season. Nikita is from Kyiv Ukraine where the country is dealing with the Russian invasion.

He came to the United States when he was 15 to pursue his dream of playing college and professional basketball. He understands that he is safe and his family isn't. He hopes that the war will end quickly.

"It's very hard to see for them to be in danger area and me being safe. And I have everything to be successful here. Like I said before, we are against the war and we don't want it to keep continuing on my land," said Konstantynovskyi.
