Justin Minaya (born March 26, 1999) is a Dominican-American professional basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for South Carolina and Providence. He formerly played for the Capitanes de Ciudad de México in the NBA G League. He is the son of Major League Baseball executive Omar Minaya.

College career

Coming out of high school, Minaya was an unranked recruit but received several offers to play college basketball. He received official offers from South Carolina, UNC Wilmington, Boston University, Illinois, Iona and UMass. Minaya officially visited with South Carolina and UNC Wilmington before committing to South Carolina, signing his letter of intent on May 15, 2017.

Minaya played four seasons with the Gamecocks from 2017 to 2021, only playing 5 games in 2018–19 due to a severe knee injury. In 2020, Minaya also underwent surgery on his thumb. He played all four years at South Carolina under head coach Frank Martin.

After four years at South Carolina, Minaya transferred to Providence for his graduate season. At Providence, Minaya averaged 6.5 points per game and started in 25 out of the 32 games he played in the 2021–22 season. The Friars won the Big East regular season championship in 2022 and advanced to Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, defeating South Dakota State and Richmond before losing to Kansas.

Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2022 NBA draft, Minaya joined the Charlotte Hornets for the 2022 NBA Summer League. He was named to the Capitanes de Ciudad de México's roster to start the 2022–23 NBA G League season.

On April 4, 2023, Minaya signed a 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.
