Nate Fox (* 14. July 1977 in Plainfield , Illinois ; † 22. December 2014 in Bloomingdale , Illinois) was an American basketball player who professionally in various countries of Europe has played, including five seasons in the German basketball league .

Career

Fox initially studied at Boston College and completed individual games for the Eagles in the NCAA . He then moved to the University of Maine and after a regular break of one year, he was another two years a high performer with the Black Bears with just under 30 minutes of playing time and 18 points per game. He then began his professional career with clubs in Portugal .

His first season in Germany for Leverkusen was 2002/03, in which Fox could achieve an average of 12.9 points and 7.2 rebounds. In the 2003/04 season he played eight games in Israel for Hapoel Haifa / Ramat-Hasharon and 16 games in Belgium for Basket Groot Leuven, where he also met his future teammate in Leverkusen Brant Bailey . After a short stay in the Netherlands with the MCP Capitals Groningen, Nate Fox returned to the Bayer Giants in the 2004/05 season.

His statistically best season in Leverkusen was 2005/06, when he made an average of 15.2 points and 9.5 rebounds. He played his Bundesliga game with the highest number of points on April 16, 2006, when he scored 36 points in a 98: 91 win against BS | ENERGY Braunschweig . He took part in the BBL All-Star Game in 2008 . A few weeks later, however, on March 2, 2008, after a league game against the Deutsche Bank Skyliners, he tested positive for THC . Fox decided not to open the B sample. After the positive sample became known, Nate Fox was suspended by the Bayer Giants. The following season he won the championship and cup double with the Estonian club BC Kalev .

After being signed by the New York Phantoms Braunschweig at the end of August 2009 for the 2009/10 season, he returned to the German basketball league a good year after his last game. At the end of the season, Fox was suspended from the Phantoms in early May without the reasons being published.

In February 2011 he signed a contract with the French club Saint Thomas Basket from Le Havre , for which he played in the LNB Pro A for the rest of the 2010/11 season . In the following season he moved to the Belgian runner-up Okapi from Aalst , with whom he celebrated their first national title win in 2012 by winning the Belgian cup competition.

On December 22, 2014, Fox was shot in the driveway to his home in Bloomingdale and died shortly afterwards from his injuries in a hospital.
