Where in the World is Austin Rivers? An NBA Odyssey (Probably Not Sponsored by Travelocity)
Ah, Austin Rivers. The name synonymous with... well, being Doc Rivers' son for a while, but also a scrappy guard with a mean three-point stroke. But where exactly does this journeyman baller call home (on the court, at least)? Buckle up, because we're about to take a whistle-stop tour of Austin's ever-changing NBA zip codes.
From the Big Easy to La La Land: The Early Days
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Drafted by the then-New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans) in 2012, Austin's NBA career began with a taste of beignets and gumbo. Let's be honest, most rookies would kill for that welcome wagon. Unfortunately, his stint there wasn't quite as sweet as a king cake. After a few seasons, it was off to Los Angeles to join his pops, Doc Rivers, with the Clippers. Maybe some nepotism? We'll never know (but probably a little).
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Trading Card Collection Anyone? A whirlwind Tour
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Following his Clippers days, Austin became a frequent flyer, collecting frequent flyer miles and probably a whole lotta hotel shampoo. Wizards? Check. Rockets? Yup. Knicks? Briefly. Nuggets? Sure, why not? At this point, keeping track of Austin's teams was like trying to remember your Netflix queue – a blurry mess of titles.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.

Howling with the Wolves: Finding a Home (for Now)
Thankfully, for the sake of both Austin's frequent flyer points and our collective sanity, things seem to have settled down a bit. As of July 2nd, 2024 (mark your calendars!), Austin suits up for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Maybe the howl of the wolves provides a sense of stability, or maybe they just have a really good cafeteria. Who knows?
