Mouhamadou Gueye (/ɡəɪ/; born July 6, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for Raptors 905 of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Monroe Mustangs, Stony Brook Seawolves and Pittsburgh Panthers.

Early life

Gueye was born in Staten Island, New York, to Senegalese parents who played basketball.[1][2] His father, Ababacar, moved to Staten Island from Senegal in 1987 with $100 and saved money from a job in construction so that his wife, Souwadou, could join him a few years later.[1] Gueye shared a passion for basketball with his father who would watch cassette tape games of their hometown New York Knicks and Ababacar's favourite player Michael Jordan.[1] He played with friends at local parks and recreation centres in addition to his father paying for him to work with a trainer.[1]

High school career

Gueye attended Curtis High School in Staten Island and started as a 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m) guard before he grew 10 inches (25 cm) over four years.[1] He did not play on the school's basketball team during his junior or senior seasons due to disciplinary measures arising from his truancy.[1]

Gueye was invited to play for a local Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team, iWork Basketball, during his senior year.[1] A teammate uploaded a highlight reel of Gueye's play to YouTube which was noticed by an assistant coach at Monroe College.[1][3] Gueye was invited for a workout on campus and was offered a spot on the roster when the coaches saw his ball-handling and passing abilities.[1]

College career

Gueye averaged 2.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game during his freshman season at Monroe College.[1] His playing ability increased during his sophomore season and attracted the interest of several colleges.[1] Gueye transferred to the Stony Brook Seawolves where he learned how to play effectively within a system.[1] He averaged 3.1 blocks per game during his second season with the Seawolves and was selected as the defensive player of the year in the America East Conference (AEC).[1] Gueye was selected to the third-team All-AEC in 2021.[4] He transferred to the Pittsburgh Panthers for his final season of college eligibility.[5][6] He averaged 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game during the 2021–22 season with the Panthers.[7]

Professional career

Texas Legends (2022–2023)

On September 21, 2022, Gueye signed with the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).[7] He was waived by the Mavericks on October 12, 2022.[8] On October 23, 2022, Gueye was listed on the training camp roster of the Mavericks' NBA G League affiliate team, Texas Legends.[9] On November 3, 2022, Gueye was named to the opening night roster for the Texas Legends.[10] He averaged 8.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.9 blocks per game in 29 games played.[11]

Raptors 905 (2023–present)

Gueye joined the Toronto Raptors for the 2023 NBA Summer League[12] and on July 21, 2023, the Legends traded his G League rights to Raptors 905.[13] On August 1, he signed a contract with the Raptors,[11] but was waived on October 20.[14] Ten days later, he joined Raptors 905.[15]

On December 1, 2023, Mouhamadou sustained a neck injury during the game against the Maine Celtics. [16]
