Utah guard Devante Doutrive has played basketball since the first grade, and he can’t ever remember ever going this long without taking part in a bonafide game.
A freshman sitting this season out as a redshirt year, Doutrive spends game days on the sidelines in sweats or street clothes. During games, he’s sometimes relegated to a seat behind the bench because there are more bodies than sideline space. Often during pregame warm-ups, he’s shagging basketballs and throwing passes to teammates who are preparing to play.
If Doutrive weren’t 6-foot-5 and 190 pounds, he might be mistaken for a team manager.
