Former Nebraska Cornhuskers power forward Josiah Allick has added a major professional accolade to his resume, capturing the 2025-26 NBA G League championship with the Greensboro Swarm. The Swarm, the developmental affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, secured the title in dominant fashion, sweeping the Stockton Kings in the Finals.
Allick proved to be a vital contributor for the champion Swarm throughout the season. In 28 games, he provided consistent energy and defense off the bench, averaging 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.0 block in just over 17 minutes per contest. His role underscores the kind of hard-nosed, team-first play that defines winning basketball at every level.
This championship moment is the latest highlight in a basketball journey that has taken Allick across the globe. After transferring to Nebraska for his final collegiate season, the Lincoln native made an immediate impact, averaging 7.3 points and 5.4 rebounds while helping lead the Huskers to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. He then honed his craft overseas, earning MVP honors in the New Zealand basketball league in 2025 by leading the circuit in rebounding.
Allick's path—from college standout to international MVP to G League champion—exemplifies the perseverance and development required to succeed in professional basketball. For Nebraska fans and aspiring players alike, his story is a powerful reminder that championship habits, cultivated in college, can pave the way for success on the biggest stages.
