PHILADELPHIA – The Temple University men's basketball team announced the addition of graduate transfer Jamal Mashburn Jr. to the 2024-25 roster.
"We are very excited to welcome Jamal and his family to our Temple basketball program," said head coach, Adam Fisher. "I've known Jamal and watched him since his high school days and we are thrilled to have him join our family. Jamal is a player that can really score the ball, has a high basketball IQ and is a winner! We are excited about the leadership he brings and know that he will be a great ambassador for our university and the community."
Mashburn played the last three seasons at the University of New Mexico where he was a three-time All-Mountain West performer for the Lobos. Last season he garnered Third Team All-MW accolades and Mountain West All-Tournament Team honors for year in which he averaged 14.1 points per game and connected on 40 three-pointers.
"I'm super excited to be a Temple Owl," said Mashburn. "Philly is getting a tough, hard-nosed competitor. Can't wait to get to work!"
His best season with UNM came as a junior when he was First Team All-MW, netting 19.1 PPG and shot 38.2 percent from beyond the arc, while also garnering First Team NABC All-District and USBWA All-District. He scored in double figures in 32 of 34 games with 17 games of 20 or more and two contests with 30+. He netted a career-high 33 versus Nevada on January 23. As a sophomore, he started all 32 games, posting 18.2 an outing.
Mashburn started his career at Minnesota, averaging 8.2 points per game, playing in 29 games with eight starts. He enters the 2024-25 season with 1,866 career points.
A native of Miami, Mashburn was a four-star recruit out of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire as rated by ESPN and 247sports. He is the son of former NBA All-Star Jamal Mashburn, who was the fourth overall pick out of Kentucky in 1993.
