On June 26 and 27, the National Basketball Association (NBA) held its 2026 NBA Draft, featuring 60 selections across two rounds. While Florida High alum Tre Donaldson was not among those selected, he quickly earned an opportunity at the professional level, signing a two-way contract with the Miami Heat to continue his basketball career in South Florida. The deal allows Donaldson to split time between the Heat and their NBA G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, giving him a chance to develop within the organization while remaining eligible to appear in NBA games.
Senior Season – Miami Hurricanes
Tre Donaldson spent his senior season with the Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball, earning All-ACC Second Team and NABC Division I All-Southeast District Second Team honors after establishing himself as one of the conference’s top all-around guards. He appeared in all 35 games with 33 starts, averaging 16.4 points, a team-high 5.7 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 76.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Donaldson consistently delivered in big moments throughout the year, scoring a career-high 32 points against Virginia Tech, including his team’s final 15 points in the victory. He also set a career high with 10 assists against Stetson and recorded three consecutive double-doubles in points and assists against Southern Miss, ULM, and FIU. His season included standout performances against top competition, including 21 points, six rebounds, and six assists at Florida State, 14 points, six rebounds, and five assists in a win over No. 11 North Carolina, and a near triple-double with 17 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds against SMU.
High School – Florida High
Tre Donaldson played four years at Florida State University High School, where he developed into one of the state’s premier guards and capped his career with a Class 3A state championship in 2022. As a member of the varsity team as an eighth grader, he immediately made an impact by averaging 8.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, setting the foundation for a decorated high school career.
Donaldson earned Florida Dairy Farmers Player of the Year and Florida Association of Basketball Coaches Elite 11 honors as a senior after averaging 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.4 steals per contest while leading the Seminoles to a 24-7 record and a state title. He delivered one of his best performances on the biggest stage, recording 22 points, five rebounds, three assists, and three steals in the championship game. Prior to his senior campaign, he averaged 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals as a junior.
