Kyle Guy, born on August 11, 1997, in Indianapolis, Indiana, established himself as a prominent basketball talent from a young age. He attended Lawrence Central High School, where he earned varsity letters all four years. In 2016, Guy was recognized as a McDonald’s All-American and later that year was named Indiana Mr. Basketball after averaging 23.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists during his senior season. He committed to playing college basketball at the University of Virginia, where he would leave a significant mark on the program.

During his collegiate career at Virginia from 2016 to 2019, Guy demonstrated consistent performance and leadership. In his freshman year (2016-17), he averaged 7.5 points per game with a 49.5% three-point shooting accuracy. His sophomore year (2017-18) saw him average 14.1 points per game and lead Virginia to an ACC tournament championship, earning MVP honors. The pinnacle of his college career came in his junior season (2018-19), where he averaged 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. He notably scored 30 points against Marshall in December 2018 and recorded his first collegiate double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds against Purdue in the 2019 NCAA Tournament. On April 6, 2019, his clutch free throws against Auburn propelled Virginia to their first-ever national championship game, which they won with Guy contributing 24 points and being named the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

Following a successful college career, Guy was drafted by the New York Knicks in the 2019 NBA Draft (55th overall pick) and subsequently traded to the Sacramento Kings. He signed a two-way contract with the Kings, balancing his time between the NBA team and their G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings, where he once scored 42 points in a game. From 2019 to 2022, he also played for the Cleveland Charge and the Miami Heat, where he signed two 10-day contracts and a two-way contract, showcasing his skills with a 17-point performance against the Houston Rockets in December 2021. His professional journey continued internationally with Club Joventut Badalona in Spain (2022-2023), Panathinaikos in Greece (2023), and La Laguna Tenerife in Spain (2024). In August 2024, Guy transitioned into coaching, returning to the University of Virginia as an athlete development mentor/special assistant, and later becoming an assistant coach at Nevada in April 2025. He is expected to return to playing in October 2025, signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Indiana Pacers’ G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom.
