Season 8 of Love Island USA is officially here, and while some of the contestants are new to the spotlight, others have had their fair share of exposure to it before. One of the stars, Aniya Harvey, revealed that her dad used to play for the NBA, which means the newly minted reality TV star is from a sports family!
So, who exactly is Aniya’s dad? Here’s what you need to know about him and their family.
Aniya’s dad is Donnell Harvey, a retired NBA athlete who played as a power forward for several basketball teams: New Jersey Nets, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns.
Donnell played for the Mavericks following the 2000 NBA Draft, followed by the Nuggets when he was traded.
Donnell played his last game as an NBA player in 2005, but he continued playing basketball around the world in Greece, China, Turkey and other countries. He officially retired from pro basketball in 2014.
Yes, but Donnell has kept his personal life away from the public eye. Only Aniya is under the spotlight now that she’s starring in Love Island USA.
