She also shared the Orange's post welcoming Kiyan home, adding a bunch of orange emojis.

Unfortunately for Kiyan's next team, they succumbed to Wake Forest 81-71, dropping to 6-7 in the season. They rank 17th in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) after this matchup and will return to action on Saturday against Florida State.

Kiyan Anthony is one of the most exciting prospects in the country right now and his next step will be crucial for his NBA aspirations. Meanwhile, his parents are very happy about his future and neither has stopped showing support to the future Orange freshman.

Carmelo Anthony shared his thoughts on Kiyan Anthony's decision

Carmelo and LaLa Anthony learned about Kiyan Anthony's decision at the same time in the premiere of the former New York Knicks' star podcast's second season. After his kid made his decision, Melo shared his relief about not having to wait any longer for Kiyan's choice.

"I was just waiting for you to say--it was just like time for him to, you know, no more flip-flopping. One day is this, one day is that. This situation, this visit, visits are dangerous, in great way, though. Because you go on these visits and they got to pull out all the stops, so everything looks good; everything sounds good, so you can't go off of what's offered.

"I'm glad that he decided to make this decision. I'm happy," Anthony said.
