Damion Lee (born October 21, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for four years at Drexel University and transferred to Louisville for his final year of eligibility.{{cite web|first=Molly|last=Geary|title=Drexel guard Damion Lee says he will graduate, transfer|url=https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/03/30/drexel-damion-lee-transfer-immediately-eligible|work=SI.com|date=March 30, 2015|access-date=March 30, 2015}} After going undrafted in 2016, Lee played in the G League before signing with the Atlanta Hawks in March 2018. He then signed a two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors the following season, winning an NBA championship with the team in 2022.
High school career
Lee graduated from Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, Maryland,{{cite web|title=Drexel bio|url=http://drexeldragons.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3678&path=mbball|website=DrexelDragons.com|publisher=Drexel Athletics|access-date=January 21, 2015}} where in his final season he was a Second-Team Baltimore Sun All-Metro and a First-Team All-Baltimore Catholic League selection. Lee attended prep school at St. Thomas More in Oakdale, Connecticut, where he averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game during the 2010–11 season. Lee was a First Team All-New England Preparatory School Athletic Council selection, leading his team to a 30–7 record and the National Prep School Championship.
College career
=Drexel Dragons=
In his freshman season as a member of the 2011–12 Drexel Dragons men's basketball team, Lee started at point guard. During that season, he averaged 12 points and 4.4 rebounds.{{cite web|first=Myron|last=Medcalf|title=Get to Know: Drexel's Damion Lee|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/49617/get-to-know-damion-lee|website=ESPN.com|publisher=ESPN|date=February 22, 2012|access-date=January 23, 2015}} After the impressive start to his college career, he was named the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Year. He was also named to the CAA All-Tournament team after averaging more than 15 points in Drexel's three tournament games. In the CAA championship game, the Dragons (25–5) lost to Virginia Commonwealth University, 59–56. VCU was a Final Four team the previous year, and the majority of projections had both teams making the NCAA tournament. However, a disappointing Selection Sunday saw the Dragons not invited to the NCAA Tournament and instead accepting an automatic bid to the 2012 National Invitation Tournament as the CAA regular season champion and #3 seed. The Dragons defeated the University of Central Florida and Northern Iowa, before falling to the University of Massachusetts in the regional final.
The following season, Lee was named to the Second-Team All-CAA after leading Drexel in scoring and finishing third in the CAA averaging 17.1 points per game. He was also second in the CAA in free throw percentage (82.9%), and fourth in three-pointers per game (2.3). In a game against Old Dominion, Lee recorded a career-high 34 points.
In his third season at Drexel, after being selected to the Preseason CAA All-Conference First Team, Lee suffered a torn ACL in a game against Arizona. This caused him to sit out the entire season and redshirt his junior year.
Before his redshirt junior season at Drexel, Lee was named to the Preseason CAA All-Conference First Team for the second year in a row. He also was named to the Charleston Classic All-Tournament team. On February 21, 2015, during a game against Northeastern, Lee suffered a fractured right hand which prematurely ended his season.{{cite web|title=Damion Lee to Miss Rest of Season Due to Injury|url=http://drexeldragons.com/news/2015/2/23/MBB_0223154054.aspx?path=mbball|website=DrexelDragons.com|date=February 23, 2015|access-date=February 23, 2015}} Lee averaged 21.4 points per game during the season, ranking fourth in the nation and first in the CAA.{{cite web|title=NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Player Scoring Per Game Statistics - 2014-15|url=http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-game/year/2015/seasontype/2/group/50|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141120060024/http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-game/year/2015/seasontype/2/group/50|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 20, 2014|website=ESPN|access-date=April 10, 2015}} His free throw percentage of 88.7% ranked 14th in the nation and second in the CAA.
