About Kendrick Nunn in brief
Kendrick Melvin Nunn is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association. He played college basketball for the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. Nunn was dismissed from the Illinois basketball team on May 24, 2016, after pleading guilty to a charge of misdemeanor battery two months earlier. He won the 2018 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Player of the Year award at Oakland after leading the nation in three-point shots made per game. After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, Nunn signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Golden State Warriors; it guaranteed him at least a spot on their Summer League roster and an invitation to their fall camp. The Warriors ultimately declined to take him on, releasing him on October 12. He was then added to the roster of their G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
In his November 4 professional debut, he recorded 15 in a 118-108 win versus the Northern Arizona Suns. On October 18, 2019, the Heat announced that they had signed Nunn on April 10, 2019. His highest score by a Heat player in a preseason game came by posting 40 points against the Houston Rockets in the last 20 years. He is a member of the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2020. His father, Melvin, explained that Kendrick felt he had committed prematurely and wished to explore all his options. His high school team, Simeon Career Academy in Chicago, won four Illinois High School Association state titles. As a senior, he joined Derrick Rose, Bobby Simmons, and Benji Wilson as the only Wolverine basketball players to have their jersey numbers retired.
