Derrick Robert Gordon (born December 12, 1991) is an American professional basketball player. A shooting guard, Gordon attended and played for three universities, originally the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, where in 2014, Gordon became the first men's basketball player in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I to come out as gay and play in a game. On March 24, 2015, Gordon announced his intention to transfer to the University of Massachusetts Amherst and continue to play college basketball, after a single season at WKU.[1]
After two seasons at UMass, during which he graduated in May 2015, Gordon decided to transfer again, for his final year of eligibility. He was eligible to enroll at another college as a graduate student, and play immediately the following season. Gordon transferred to Seton Hall for the 2015–16 season,[2] and, in 2016, became the first player to play in the NCAA tournament with three different teams, namely Western Kentucky, UMass, and Seton Hall.
He has also played for Apollon Limassol of the Cypriot League.
