AFTER fourteen seasons in the NBA, a former first-round pick has hit free agency.
Having earned over $64million during his career to date, now 35-year-old point guard D.J. Augustin is without a team.

Originally from Louisiana, the 5-foot-11 high school star made his way to Texas where he was named a Consensus All-American and an All-Big 12 First-Teamer.
Augustin’s stay college later just two years before he declared for the 2008 NBA Draft.
Selected ninth overall by the Charlotte Bobcats (as they were then known), his impact was felt early on, being named an All-Rookie Second-Teamer after starting twelve of 72 games.
Over four seasons in North Carolina, Augustin made 282 appearances before joining the Indiana Pacers as a free agent in 2012.
Between 2012 and 2016 he would struggle to find a long-term home, playing for the Pacers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Denver Nuggets.
However, four years with the Orlando Magic followed where Augustin would play 291 games, starting 150.
Now on the wrong side of 30, he headed for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2020 before being traded to the Houston Rockets just four months later.
In early 2022, Augustin joined the Los Angeles Lakers, returning to the Rockets a year later where he failed to make an appearance.
Now a free agent, his future remains uncertain.
Having also invested in tech and real estate, as per his Instagram, whether or not Augustin returns to the NBA or opts to focus on his other business ventures only time will tell.
Should he opt to walk away from the game, he’ll do so having made 976 career appearances, of which he started 334.
During his career, he’s recorded an average of 9.5 points per game, 3.9 assists, and 1.8 rebounds.
