Michael Glover (born January 9, 1987) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Halifax Hurricanes of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL). He played college basketball for Iona. He has played professionally in Turkey, Argentina, and Mexico.

Glover played for three high schools. His senior-year transcript from American Christian Academy (Aston, Pennsylvania) was voided, and he was ruled ineligible for NCAA Division I play. Glover, a top prospect, decided to sue the NCAA, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit and he did not fight it since his girlfriend had just given birth to a son, Mike Jr. Glover played for two different community colleges -- ASA College in Brooklyn and the College of Eastern Utah. Glover enrolled at Iona, where, as a senior, he posted averages of 18.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. He was a first-team all-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference selection both years at Iona.[1]

In 2015, Glover signed with the Halifax Hurricanes of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL).[2]
