Harold Fox (born August 29, 1949) is an American former professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Buffalo Braves.

High school career

[edit | edit source]

As a high school player at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland, Fox was one of the best high school players to ever come out of the Washington metro area.[1] As a junior guard, he helped lead the Wildcats to a Maryland State Championship with Captain Mark Christian, a dominant center. As a senior guard, Fox was a First Team All-Metropolitan selection and despite the graduation of Christian, led Northwestern to a second-in-a-row Maryland State Basketball Championship his senior season.[2] He was also named the 1968 High School Player of the Year in the Washington Metro Area.[2] Later he suffered a serious finger injury on his right hand, that required surgery, when a classroom door closed on it but was able to make full recovery.[3]

College career

[edit | edit source]

In his freshman year of college, Fox played for Brevard Community College (now Eastern Florida State College)[2] where he averaged 27.7 points per game in 29 appearances and was a NJCAA Third Team All-American.[4][5] After his sophomore year, Fox transferred to Jacksonville University. In his two seasons at Jacksonville, Fox averaged 19.9 points per game and 6.5 assists per game.[6]

Professional career

[edit | edit source]

Fox was drafted with the third pick in the second round of the 1972 NBA draft. He played in 10 games for the Buffalo Braves in the 1972–73 NBA season and averaged 3.1 points per game, 1.0 assists per game and 0.8 rebounds per game.[7] He was waived in middle of December 1972[8] following an arrest for a drug charge that was later dropped for lack of evidence.[9] Later that same month, he signed with the Scranton Apollos of the Eastern Basketball Association.[10] He appeared in two games for the Apollos, averaging 3.0 points.[11]
