Darren Keefe Daye (born November 30, 1960 in Des Moines, Iowa) is a retired American professional basketball player. The 6'8", 220 lb guard-forward played high-school basketball for John F. Kennedy High School in the Granada Hills district[citation needed] of Los Angeles and attended UCLA. Daye was selected by the Washington Bullets in the 3rd round (57th overall) of the 1983 NBA Draft.

Daye was the Most Valuable Player of the 1979 McDonald's All-American Game. Playing for the West team, Daye recorded a double-double, 22 points and 14 rebounds. It was not enough — the West lost by one point.[1]

Daye played in five NBA seasons from 1983-1988 for the Bullets, Chicago Bulls, and Boston Celtics. Daye's season with the Celtics in 1987-88 was his final in the NBA. He later played overseas in Italy,[2] France[3] and Israel[4] before he retired in 1997.

His son, Austin Daye, played for Gonzaga University men's basketball team, and was drafted into the NBA by the Detroit Pistons with the 15th pick of the 1st round of the 2009 NBA Draft.
