Former professional basketball player Andrew 'AJ' Ogilvy has come out as gay'Some of the guys probably knew. While playing for Melbourne United in 2022, Humphries became the second active men's professional basketball player to come out after NBA centre Jason Collins in 2013. Collins became the NBA's first openly gay player when he came out in 2013 in an open letter published by Sports Illustrated. On February 23, 2014, Collins signed a 10-day contract with the team and in doing so, became the league's first openly gay player.
