Harry Giles III: From NBA to Trucking and Back Again

Harry Giles III, a former high school basketball prodigy and 2017 first-round NBA pick, faced a career fraught with challenges, including multiple knee injuries.

Despite being sidelined and navigating through setbacks with teams like Sacramento, Portland, and the LA Clippers, Giles kept up his drive. His last notable NBA presence was in the 2020-21 season with the Trail Blazers, where he averaged 2.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

This North Carolina-based company, established in January 2022, operates with one truck and focuses on interstate general freight transportation. The entrepreneurial move showed that Giles is aware of life beyond basketball and takes opportunities to optimize his finances.

Return to the NBA: Giles is now making his way back into professional basketball. The Brooklyn Nets recognized his potential and signed him to a non-guaranteed contract, offering him a chance to prove his mettle once again. Giles, who once had to come to terms with the reality of life beyond the court, is now back, playing for the Nets and aiming to reclaim his place in the NBA.
