Clifford Clinkscales (born March 11, 1984) is an American professional basketball head coach for the KW Titans of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada) and a former player. A 6-foot-1-inch (1.85 m) point guard,[1] Clinkscales began playing professionally in 2008, with two seasons in the NBA Development League (NBA D-League). He spent most of his professional career in NBL Canada, playing from 2013 to 2020 in Halifax for the Rainmen and the Hurricanes.[a] With the Halifax Hurricanes, he set the record for the most career assists in NBL Canada history.
A native of Jamaica, Queens, in New York City, Clinkscales rose to prominence as a basketball player at a young age, drawing attention from coaches around the country. After his freshman year at Springfield Gardens High School, he transferred to Shores Christian Academy in Ocala, Florida, where his team won the National Association of Christian Athletes title. He was rated as a three-star recruit, and several major college basketball programs showed interest in him. Clinkscales played college basketball for the DePaul Blue Demons from 2004 to 2008. He averaged 8.3 points per game in his first season in college while also becoming the fifth freshman in DePaul history to record 100 assists in a season. Although most of his statistics stagnated in his remaining years in college and his scoring average dropped, he led NCAA Division I in assist-to-turnover ratio as a senior.
Clinkscales was selected in the 2008 NBA Development League Draft by the Erie BayHawks, where he played most of his D-League career. After a three-year hiatus and one season in the American Basketball League with the Panama City Breeze, he began his NBL Canada career. In NBL Canada, he was an NBL Canada All-Star in 2014 and won the league championship as a member of the Halifax Hurricanes in 2016. Following his retirement in 2020, he returned to the league as an assistant coach in 2021. He has been the head coach of the KW Titans starting in the 2022-23 season.
