Felton making most of opportunity at Portsmouth Invitational

by | Apr 19, 2025

He may have been the last one called to participate, but former East Carolina basketball player RJ Felton is making the most of his opportunity.

He got the call to play in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and responded with a 22-point effort on 9-of-13 shooting in his team’s 101-94 win.

On Friday, he topped that with 25 points and seven rebounds.

Felton said he was working out at ECU when he got the call. He accepted and quickly made his way there where he was able to showcase his talents.

“I had prayed to the Lord for opportunities like this,” Felton told The Virginian-Pilot after his game. “It all just happened out of the blue. I’m so overwhelmed right now. I’m tired.”
