Following that, he joined Duke University’s NBA program and played in exhibition games in Dubai and China in 2011. Rivers appeared in several further Duke games before declaring for the NBA draft in 2012.

The New Orleans Hornets selected Austin Rivers with the 10th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft (Pelicans). In 2012, he signed a three-year contract with the Hornets worth $7 million. After fracturing his hand in March 2013, he was forced to miss the rest of his rookie season.

After two seasons with the Pelicans, the American player was traded to the Boston Celtics in a three-team transaction. In 2015, he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team deal involving the Phoenix Suns and the Boston Celtics. He played well in his first few games, but a fractured hand forced him to miss a lot of them.

Austin inked a three-year, $35 million contract with the Clippers in 2016, and he has since played some of his finest basketball. Rivers was moved to the Washington Wizards and then to the Phoenix Suns for Marcin Gortat two years later.

However, he was dismissed by the Suns and signed with the Houston Rockets in December 2018. Rivers has played in a number of games since then, demonstrating his on-court abilities.
