It was reported earlier this week that J. Cole inked a deal with the Scarborough Shooting Stars in the Canadian Elite Basketball League.

He made his debut with the team on Thursday, May 26 against the Guelph Nighthawks, coming off the bench late in the first quarter and landing a three-pointer.

Drake gave Cole a shoutout on Instagram as soon as he came into the game and seemed excited.
