Aj Reeves Bio
Andre Reeves Jr., known professionally as A. J. Reeves, is an American professional basketball player who most recently played for the Birmingham Squadron of the NBA G League. Standing 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and listed at 205 lb (93 kg), he plays the shooting guard position. He played college basketball for the Providence Friars of the Big East Conference from 2018 to 2022.
Born on June 4, 1999, in Swampscott, Massachusetts, Reeves has built his career primarily in the NBA G League after going undrafted in the 2022 NBA draft. He has represented the United States in international competition and continues to pursue his professional career at the development-league level.
Early Life and Background
Andre Reeves Jr. was born and raised in Swampscott, Massachusetts, a coastal town north of Boston. He grew up in a region with a strong basketball culture and began developing his game at a young age, eventually attending Swampscott High School before transferring to a prep program better suited to his recruitment goals.
He finished his high school career at Brimmer and May School in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. As a junior, he earned First Team All-New England Prep School Athletic Council honors. As a senior, he averaged 27.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, and was named Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year. ESPN rated him as a four-star recruit, the 55th-best player in his class and the 6th-best shooting guard nationally.
On June 25, 2017, Reeves committed to Providence College, choosing the Friars over Louisville, Villanova, and Virginia. His combination of scoring, size, and perimeter skill made him one of the more highly regarded high school players in New England that year.
Path to Basketball
Reeves’s path to college basketball ran through one of the country’s most established prep-school pipelines. His senior season at Brimmer and May established him as a high-major prospect, and his Gatorade state player of the year award confirmed his standing as the top high school player in Massachusetts.
His commitment to Providence in June 2017 came after recruitment from several elite programs. Reeves chose the Friars in part because of the opportunity to play in the Big East Conference, one of the strongest basketball leagues in the country. The decision set the stage for a four-year college career in a high-profile environment.

He also worked on his body during his time in college, transforming his diet to lose 20 pounds.

He was waived and began the season with their G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, where he spent the 2022–2023 campaign. On September 25, 2023, his rights were traded to the Long Island Nets, and he joined them in October 2023, but he was waived in early November 2023.
On October 28, 2024, Reeves signed with the Memphis Hustle before being waived on November 4, 2024. He briefly joined the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in November 2024 and was waived in early December 2024.

2025 Season Performance
Reeves’s 2025 season has been defined by movement between G League affiliates. After brief stops with the Memphis Hustle, Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and Rip City Remix, he found a more stable home with the Birmingham Squadron beginning February 4, 2025.
His work in Birmingham represents an opportunity to settle in with one team and showcase the perimeter shooting and scoring ability that made him a top high school recruit and a record-setting Providence freshman.
