Travis Marquez Outlaw (born September 18, 1984 in Starkville, Mississippi) is an American professional basketball player currently with the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA.
NBA career
Entering the 2003 NBA Draft directly out of Starkville High School, Mississippi, the 6'9" forward was a first-round selection (23rd overall) by the Portland Trail Blazers. He averaged 8.6 points on 44.2% field goal shooting and 3.2 rebounds per game during his first five years in the NBA.
In the 2005 Las Vegas Summer League, Outlaw averaged 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 35.5 minutes.[1] The performance earned him First Team All-RVSL honors. Following the summer league, several teams offered to trade for Outlaw in exchange for a first-round draft pick. Portland Trail Blazers director of player personnel Kevin Pritchard has said that Travis is "...going to be with us for a long time. I feel comfortable enough to say he's going to be a special player."[2]
On April 18, 2007, Outlaw set a new career-high with 36 points against the Golden State Warriors.[3] He became a restricted free agent on July 1, 2007, and signed a three-year contract extension on July 17.[4]
In February 2010, the Trail Blazers traded Outlaw, Steve Blake and $1.5 million in cash to the Los Angeles Clippers for Marcus Camby.[5]
