Glen Rice Jr Biography

Glen was born on January 1, 1991 in Miami, Florida to parents Glen Rice Sr. and Tracey Starwood. His father, Glen Rice Jr, was the all-time leading scorer for Michigan, who was a member of the 1999-2000 Los Angeles Lakers championship team.

Glen attended Walton High School which is based in Marietta, Georgia where he started playing basketball. Glen then continued his passion for playing basketball in college. He began playing for Georgia Tech University in 2009. Glen peaked for him while at Georgia Tech with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the March 2, 2010 deciding game against Clemson. After his college basketball career, Glen went on to be selected in the 2013 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. He was selected in the second round with the 35th overall pick. His professional career began later in 2012 when he played shooting guard/forward for the NBA Development Leagues Rio Grande Valley Vipers. He played excellently while he was there. Glen managed to average 25 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in the playoffs. In the D-League Finals, Glen went on to average 29 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 3.5 blocks. He was later fired by the Vipers. On July 8, 2013, Glen moved on to play for the Washington Wizards and played exceptionally well there. Later in the 2014 season, the Washington Wizards transferred Glen to the Iowa Energy. Later, on January 28, 2014, Glen was called up by the Wizards as well because he managed to average 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 2.0 steals in the three NBA Development League games. This turned out to be more of a rehab task for Glen than a demotion. Again, on February 27, 2014, he was reassigned to the Iowa Energy and later, on April 5, 2014, he returned to the Wizards. Once again, on November 20, 2014, Glen was assigned to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, where he played not long. Finally, on January 7, 2015, Glen was waived by the Washington Wizards. Glen decided to join the Vipers once again on January 12, 2015. He currently plays fantastically with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Much of Glens’ personal life is not known to the media, unlike the private details of his father, which are quite well known to the public. Glen is reluctant to share his private information with the media. He is not yet married and has no children.

Glen is currently 24 years old, weighs around 93kg and is 6ft 6in tall. He once got fired from his college basketball career because he had been caught driving under the influence and firing a firearm at the same moment. For this he was also accused of enabling the illegal operation. However, Glen has maintained his basketball skills and is thriving. He was a member of the 2013 NBA D-League Champion and the NBA D-League All-Rookie Second Team in the same year. While in college at Georgia Tech, Glen was considered by CBS Sports as one of the top 20 potential transfers in the country. He was also the 2014 NBA Summer League MVP.
