To the surprise of many, former Michigan State basketball star Aaron Henry didn’t hear his name called during the two-round 2021 NBA Draft. He will surely use this disappointment as motivational fuel to prove his doubters wrong.
The Philadelphia 76ers quickly picked him up moments after he became an undrafted free agent. They signed him to a two-way contract where he will more than likely split time between the Sixers and their G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats throughout the course of the 2021-22 NBA season.
