Speaking on Let's Hang during the SEC Championship game, Kanter revealed he has an offer on the table to wrestle.

"I already have an offer, I'm just trying to figure out what is going to happen with this basketball thing. I'm 29, and I want to play another six or seven years in this league. I'm going to figure out my basketball career first and see what's going to happen. I already have an offer, I'm just not taking it right now. I love basketball and I'm not going to quit basketball," he said.
