The former two-year Duke basketball forward heads down under for his fourth season as a pro.
Almost three years after going undrafted in 2021 following his Duke basketball sophomore campaign, Matthew Hurt made his NBA debut last season while on 10-day contracts with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound sharpshooter saw action in eight games, averaging 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per outing.
This week, Australia's National Basketball League announced that Hurt has signed a one-year deal with the South East Melbourne Phoenix.Before foregoing his remaining eligibility in Durham, Hurt became the ACC Most Improved Player and an All-ACC First Team selection despite the 2020-21 Duke basketball squad finishing 13-11 overall and falling short of an NCAA Tournament invite.Although he's battled more than his fair share of injuries, he's put up lofty numbers.
