Galloway was part of the full roster for the Kings in the 2022–23 season and helped them repeat as league champions, averaging 5.1 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.[2][8] After the season, he played for the Ipswich Force along with his brother in NBL1 North, averaging 18.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while helping the team win their first league championship, over the Gold Coast Rollers.[2][9] He signed a three-year contract extension with the Kings in March 2023[8] and after briefly joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 2023 NBA Summer League,[10] he played 23 games in the 2023–24 season for the Kings, averaging 10.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22.3 minutes a game.[11]
On March 3, 2024, after the Kings' season ended, Galloway signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).[12][13][14][15]
Galloway played for the Australia men's national under-19 basketball team at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup.[16]
