Agbaji, who proudly carries his Nigerian heritage on and off the court, has become a notable figure in the NBA since being selected 14th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Nigerian parents, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has embraced his roots.

Unlike Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who recently celebrated his Nigerian Igbo roots with a vibrant traditional wedding in London, there was no Nigerian-themed wedding for Agbaji.

This contrasts with a recent trend among Nigerian-born stars, Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers wed his partner, Rosalie De Ruysscher, in a stunning ceremony in Montalbano, Italy.

Tottenham Hotspur striker of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke celebrated his nuptials near Lake Como, Italy, earlier this month.
