Early life

Brissett was born in Toronto to mother McKeitha McFarlane and father Bernard Brissett, who had separated around the time of his birth. [1] He is of Jamaican descent. [2] Brissett spent the first four years of his life living in the Jane and Finch neighbourhood before moving to Mississauga. [3] After initially attending high school at St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School in Mississauga, Brissett moved away from home to attend Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada in order to hone his skills against better competition and to improve his chances of recruitment by a major college. After Findlay Prep, Brissett returned to Canada and spent a year at the Athlete Institute in Mono, Ontario, where he excelled as team captain. [4]

College career

Brissett committed to Syracuse after receiving offers from USC, Oregon, and Memphis. [5] He entered the Orange starting lineup immediately, providing an interior presence alongside guards Tyus Battle and Frank Howard. [6] Brissett averaged 14.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in his first collegiate season. [7]

Following Brissett's freshman season, there was speculation that he could test the waters in the 2018 NBA draft. However, he announced his intention to return to Syracuse for his sophomore season on April 11, 2018. [8] As a sophomore, Brissett averaged 12.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. After the season, he declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft and forfeited his remaining two years of collegiate eligibility. [9] However, Brissett was not drafted.

[12] On January 7, 2020, Brissett played his best game of the season, scoring a then-career high 12 points and grabbing six rebounds, one assist, and one steal in a 101–99 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers. [13] In the G League, Brissett averaged 15.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. [14] Following the season, the Raptors extended a qualifying offer to him, making him a restricted free agent. [15] He later signed a partially guaranteed, two-year contract extension. [16] Brissett was waived by the team at the end of training camp preceding the 2020–21 season. [17]
