Mojave King ( mə-HAH-vee; born 11 June 2002) is a New Zealand-American professional basketball player for the New Zealand Breakers of the Australian National Basketball League (NBL). He began his career in the Australian NBL in 2020, playing his first season for the Cairns Taipans. After a season with the Adelaide 36ers, he joined the NBA G League Ignite in 2022. He was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 47th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Early life and career
King was born in Dunedin, New Zealand. He was named after the Mojave Desert in the southwestern United States.
In 2007, at the age of four, King moved with his family to Mackay, Queensland, when his father accepted a role to coach the Mackay Meteors in Australia's semi-professional Queensland Basketball League (QBL). The family settled in Brisbane four years later when King's father accepted a position to coach the Brisbane Spartans in the South East Australian Basketball League. There he attended Brisbane State High School.
In 2018, King played one game in the QBL for the Brisbane Capitals.
In 2019, King joined the NBA Global Academy, a training centre at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. In association with the academy, he played for the BA Centre of Excellence in the NBL1, an Australian semi-professional league. Later that year, King represented Queensland South at the Australian Under-18 Championships, where he led the competition in scoring with 26.6 points per game. At the NBA Academy Games in Atlanta, Georgia in July 2019, he averaged a tournament-high 19.2 points per game.
