LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former Indiana University men's basketball player, now a professional basketball player in Ukraine, is stuck there.
Now, fans are rallying behind Maurice "Mo" Creek, hoping to get him to safety.
"He's in a bomb shelter right now and can't get out and is trying to get out. We've called the American Embassy in the Ukraine, who basically had him fill out a form and can't do anything else right now," Eric Pankowski, with the Hoosier Hysterics podcast, said in a video posted to Twitter on Friday. "But, there is a group called Project Dynamo. Project Dynamo is dedicated to getting Americans out of war-torn countries. They did a lot for getting Americans out of Afghanistan, they continue to do that and they're working hard at getting Americans out of Ukraine."
IMPORTANT REQUEST:I know we’re supposed to be silly & funny but sometimes real life gets in the way. Please check out the video & let’s see if we can help @Mo_Creek & other Americans get out of Ukraine as quickly as possible. Here’s the link to donate. https://t.co/j2rgJrEhdE pic.twitter.com/ei0l8EkW8i
