Isaiah Jordan Crawford (born November 1, 2001) is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Crawford has also previously been on a two-way contract with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA G League.

College career

Crawford, a small forward from Fort Worth, Texas, came to Louisiana Tech from North Crowley High School. He broke into the Bulldogs' starting lineup six games into his first year but his season ended abruptly due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.[1] He returned to the team for his sophomore season, establishing himself a third-team All-Conference USA pick after averaging 11.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Just two games into his junior season, Crawford suffered a second ACL injury to the same knee and missed the rest of the season.[2]

After a year of rehabilitation, Crawford returned to the Bulldogs for the 2022–23 season. He picked up where he left off, averaging 13.7 points per game to lead the team and was again named third-team all-conference.[2]

At the start of the 2023–24 season, Crawford was named the preseason Conference USA Player of the Year.[3] After averaging career highs in points (16.3 per game) and rebounding (6.2 per game) and leading the Bulldogs to a second-place finish, Crawford was named the league's 2024 Player of the Year.[4]
