Kerwin Roach, a former Houston high school basketball star, is trying to get home from the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict in Iran and violence spreading through the region. Roach has been playing professionally in Bahrain, but a knee injury ended his season short and he has been unable to return to Houston for treatment since March 2. Despite his elite skills, Roach chose to pursue his professional career overseas and play in different countries. He has been stranded for weeks due to the conflict and ongoing instability in the region, which has left him with little opportunity to leave.
