Grand Canyon men's basketball player Dima Zdor says communication with family in Ukraine has been hard since Russia's invasion of the country began.
Dima Zdor is from the Ukraine and is worried about his family who lives there as Russia invades his country.After basketball practice ended Friday inside Grand Canyon University Arena, 6-foot-10 center Dima Zdor found a spot in the stands and sat alone, his head down.
"They don't have power there in some areas, so they can't charge their phone," Zdor said."It's hard to communicate right now.Zdor said he last spoke to his family Thursday, after he got back from Chicago, where the Antelopes beat Chicago State. Zdor moved to the United States seven years ago after he had a five-inch growth spurt from 6-5 to 6-10.His family has always given him its blessing to chase his basketball dreams. He wants to play pro and has been a key contributor off the bench this season for the Antelopes, who have three homes games remaining, starting Saturday against Sam Houston State.
