A 6-foot-9 power forward and 2021 Morgan State graduate, Troy Baxter Jr., remains a steady force for Al Shamal in the Qatari professional league. In a recent matchup, Baxter Jr. turned in a strong all-around performance with 18 points, five rebounds, and two blocks in 36 minutes, despite Al Shamal falling 100–73 to Al Gharafa.

The loss marked the team's third straight setback as Al Shamal (5–7) fights to remain in playoff contention with four regular-season games remaining. Individually, Baxter Jr. is putting together an outstanding season, averaging 15.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game over 12 contests while anchoring the frontcourt on both ends of the floor.
