Early life and career

Travers was born in the Perth southern suburb of Rockingham. [1] He attended Port Kennedy Primary School [1] and Willetton Senior High School. [2] [3] He played basketball for the Rockingham Flames as a junior [4] and was childhood friends with AFL player Luke Jackson. [5]

Travers made his senior debut for the Rockingham Flames in the State Basketball League (SBL) in 2017. He saw action in five games and totaled five points. [6] In 2018, he played five games during the regular season and then all five games during the finals, helping the Flames sweep the Geraldton Buccaneers 2–0 in the quarter-finals and averaging 14.7 points during the 2–1 semi-final series loss to the Perry Lakes Hawks. [7] That year, he was named Male WABL Player of the Year. [8] In 2019, he played 18 games for the Flames and averaged 11.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. [9] He was an integral player for the Flames in 2019, starting a number of games but often used as the sixth man off the bench. [10] He was subsequently named the SBL Most Improved Player. [11]

In 2018, Travers helped break a 17-year drought for Western Australia, winning gold at the Under 18 National Championships. [4] [12]

Professional career

Perth Wildcats (2019–2023)

2019–20 season

On 1 August 2019, Travers signed with the Perth Wildcats as a development player for the 2019–20 NBL season. [12] His elite athleticism and ability to play multiple positions made him an attractive option for the Wildcats. [10] Regarded as one of Australia's most sought-after basketball prospects, he had interest from a number of colleges in the United States, [10] but indicated his desire to turn professional due to a lack of motivation at school. [13] In his debut for the Wildcats on 1 December 2019, he had three points, four assists and two rebounds in roughly 11 minutes in a 99–88 loss to the Adelaide 36ers. [14] On 20 December 2019, he opted to forgo college basketball and begin his professional career, signing a three-year contract extension with the Wildcats. [15] [16] He played four games during the season [17] and was a member of the Wildcats' championship-winning squad in March 2020. [18] [19]

During the West Coast Classic in 2020, Travers had a five-game stint with the Cockburn Cougars, [13] averaging 17.8 points, 14.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. [20]

2020–21 season

Continuing on as a development player in the 2020–21 NBL season, Travers was thrust into a much larger role during the preseason, starting in both of the Wildcats' preseason games against the Illawarra Hawks. [21] While mostly a traditional wing player, he added strength to his frame over the off-season and was assigned the starting power forward role. [21] He was replaced in the starting line-up by Jarred Bairstow midway through the season, [22] with Travers later stating he got complacent in the role and was forced to work his way back into starting contention. [23] On 28 March 2021, he went 6-of-6 from the field for 16 points off the bench in an 89–65 win over the Sydney Kings. [24] A season-ending injury to Bryce Cotton saw Travers return to the starting line-up as a guard at the back-end of the regular season and in the semi-finals. [25] On 27 May, he had 16 points and eight rebounds in an 81–67 win over the Kings. [26] In the 2–1 semi-final series win over Illawarra, Travers averaged 10.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and three assists per game. [25] He went on to miss the first two games of the grand final series against Melbourne United with a calf injury, [27] [28] [29] returning in game three to record nine points and six rebounds off the bench in an 81–76 series-ending loss. [30] [31]

On 1 July 2021, Travers signed with the Mandurah Magic for the rest of the 2021 NBL1 West season. [32] [33] However, he was never cleared by the Wildcats medical staff to play for Mandurah. [34]

2021–22 season

Travers entered the 2021–22 NBL season as a fully contracted player [35] and earned the rank of number 83 in ESPN's top 100 NBA draft rankings. [36] On 5 December 2021, he had a career-high 14 rebounds in the Wildcats' 90–67 win over the Cairns Taipans. [37] [38] On 5 February 2022, he scored a career-high 24 points in a 101–79 win over the South East Melbourne Phoenix. [39] He averaged 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks per game during the 2021–22 season, playing both inside and outside roles while also periodically running the offense. [40]

2022 NBA draft and Summer League

On 24 April 2022, Travers declared for the 2022 NBA draft. [41] He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 56th overall pick. [42] He joined the Cavaliers for the 2022 NBA Summer League, [43] where he averaged 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in five games. [44]

2022–23 season

Travers re-joined the Wildcats for the 2022–23 NBL season. [45] He helped the Wildcats return to the finals by recording 22 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the regular-season finale against the Sydney Kings. [46] In 29 games, he averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game. [47]

Travers parted ways with the Wildcats on 30 March 2023. [48]

Melbourne United (2023–present)

On 17 April 2023, Travers signed a three-year deal with Melbourne United. [49] [50] [51] Three months later, he helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win the 2023 NBA Summer League championship. [52] [53] [54] He played in each of Cleveland's five games, averaging 7.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. [54]

While initially signed by United to fill a power forward role, Travers was trialled as a point guard during pre-season. [55] In his debut for United on 28 September 2023, he scored a game-high 20 points in an 82–67 win over the South East Melbourne Phoenix. [56] In game one of United's semi-finals series against the Illawarra Hawks, Travers had 24 points and eight rebounds in a 115–106 overtime win. [57]

National team career

In 2018, Travers represented Australia at the Under-17 FIBA World Cup in Argentina and won gold at the Under-16 FIBA Asia Championship in China. [12] [58] He had 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, four steals and two blocks for Australia in their title-clinching victory over China and was named in the all-tournament second team. [59]

In August 2022, Travers made his Australian Boomers debut during the World Cup qualifiers. [60] [61]

Travers is the son of Karl and Sam. He has an older brother [62] and a sister. [63]
