Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Damion Lee was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to Michelle Riddick in 1992. He led St. Thomas More School in Oakdale, Connecticut, to a 30-7 record and the National Prep School Championship in 2011, averaging 17 points, six rebounds and five assists per game. That season, Lee was named a First-team All-New England Preparatory School Athletic Council selection. As a junior at Calvert Hall College High School in Baltimore, Lee was an all-league selection. The following season, he was a First-team All-Baltimore Catholic League selection while also earning second team Baltimore Sun All-Metro honors. He earned a degree in general humanities and social science at Drexel and majored in special education, with a concentration in assistive technology, at Louisville. Learn more about Lee by following him on Twitter (@Dami0nLee) and Instagram (@dami0nlee). The 6-foot-5 Lee began his collegiate career at Drexel. He became a starter as a freshman and provided 12.0 points and 4.4 rebounds for the Dragons. The guard hit 37.5 percent of his three-point attempts and put up at least 20 points in five games. Lee led the team with 17.1 points as a sophomore. He scored a career-high 34 points with 10 rebounds (one of three double-doubles) in a win over Old Dominion. In the fifth game of what would have been his junior season, Lee tore his ACL and had to miss the rest of the season. He returned in 2014-15 and led the CAA with 21.4 points. He topped 30 points five times, but his season ended in February when he fractured his hand. Lee left Drexel as a graduate transfer and headed to Louisville. He led the Cardinals with 15.9 points per game, but he did not get to play in the postseason after the Cardinals were banned due to an ongoing NCAA investigation that would cost coach Rick Pitino his job. Lee was named to the All-ACC Second Team.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2016
Lee's role was reduced last season with the Warriors much healthier, and he averaged just 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.9 minutes. His role is even more in jeopardy this season. Klay Thompson is expected to return by Christmas, and rookies Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga threaten Lee's minutes on the wing, not to mention the additions of Andre Iguodala and Otto Porter. It's possible Lee will not be an every-game player for the Warriors, so he can be avoided on draft day.
Lee signed a training camp deal with the Celtics in September after going undrafted in June out of Louisville. He's an intriguing prospect given his size (6-foot-6) and scoring ability, but he faces an uphill battle in making Boston's final roster. Lee averaged 15.9 points and 3.9 rebounds per game during his senior season and was a member of the Heat's entry at both the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Had career-jeopardizing injury
GPhoenix Suns
October 1, 2024
Lee's meniscus tear that sidelined him for the entirety of the 2023-24 season was "a rare one that lengthened his rehab and had setbacks within that. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to play again," Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lee is fully cleared for practices and appears to be uninhibited while ramping up for the 2024-25 season. Olson adds that Lee consulted therapy and dealt with taxing emotional battles in his road to recovery, which went under the radar with meniscus injuries often having routine recoveries. The soon-to-be 32-year-old was among the best low-volume shooters in 2022-23 during his first year with Phoenix, connecting on 44.5 percent of 3.3 triples per game.
