A FORMER NBA star has dropped to the G League in order to save his career.
Jarrett Culver, 24, seemed to have a promising career in the NBA in his hands, but it didn’t quite go to plan.

Originally from Lubbock, Texas, Culver opted to stay in his hometown for college, starring for the Texas Tech Red Raiders from 2017-2019.
After being named the Big 12 Player of the Year and a unanimous First-Team All-Big 12 selection in 2019, he declared for the 2019 NBA Draft.
Selected sixth overall by the Phoenix Suns, Culver was sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a draft night trade that saw Croatian star Dario Šarić and the eleventh overall pick sent to Arizona.
The 6-foot-6 Culver had a solid rookie year, starting 35 of 63 games, averaging 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
Unfortunately, this proved to be the pinnacle of his career to date.
The following season, Culver started just seven of 34 appearances before being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in August 2021.
In September 2022, Culver inked a two-way contract with the Atlanta Hawks followed next season, but made just ten appearances before he was let go in January 2023.
Seemingly in an effort to get his career back on track, Culver signed with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Houston Rockets’ G League affiliate.
With the Vipers, Culver began to show why he was once such a coveted prospect, averaging 17.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists through 23 games.
In his most impressive performance in years, Culver authored a stunning 41-point outing in March against the Iowa Wolves.
And it seems Culver has every intention of continuing to push for a long career in the sport.
Following the conclusion of the G League season, he shared a series of snaps from the year on Instagram, captioned: “Season 4 recap – God is always in control! Thankful for every moment. Keep working it’s a marathon.”
