BIOGRAPHY
Trevelin Queen was born on February 25, 1997, in Baltimore, Maryland. He is a guard in the NBA.
Queen originally planned to attend Prince George's Community College due to a mutual relationship between the school's basketball coach and his AAU coach, but he redshirted his first season because of paperwork issues. He began playing college basketball at College of Marin in Marin County, California. While attending the school, Queen lived in crowded conditions at a retirement home before he and his roommates were kicked out. For one week, he lived with three teammates in a car in East Oakland, before moving into the home of his teammate's relative. Queen scored a freshman season-high 29 points, to go with 11 rebounds and eight steals, in a December 10, 2016 win over Feather River College. In 14 games with Marin, he averaged a team-high 21.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
As a sophomore, Queen moved to New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico upon his family's advice. In his season debut, he scored 40 points in a November 1, 2017 victory over Northern New Mexico JV. On November 4, Queen recorded a season-high 41 points in a loss to New Mexico Junior College. By the end of the season, he was averaging 26 points, which ranked fourth in the National Junior College Athletic Association, to go with 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Queen was selected to the All-Western Junior College Athletic Conference team. He committed to play NCAA Division I basketball for Western Kentucky and enrolled at the school but departed in September 2018. He later committed to New Mexico State.
As a junior, Queen averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game as one of the top reserves for the Aggies. He scored a season-high 27 points in the WAC Tournament title game against Grand Canyon. He was named the 2019 WAC Tournament MVP. In the first round of the 2019 NCAA tournament, he scored 14 points but missed a potential game-winning three-pointer in a 78–77 loss to fifth-seeded Auburn, who would advance to the Final Four. As a senior, Queen averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and was one of the top defenders in the conference. He missed three weeks with a knee injury. Queen was named to the Second Team All-WAC. He scored a season-high 23 points and nine rebounds on November 22, 2019, in a 78-77 loss to New Mexico.
On October 11, 2022, Queen signed a two-way contract with the Indiana Pacers, splitting time with their G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. He was named to the G League's inaugural Next Up Game for the 2022–23 season. On March 27, 2023, the G League suspended Queen for one game without pay for directing threatening language toward a game official in a 125–121 win over the Delaware Blue Coats two days earlier. This caused him to miss the Mad Ants' first round playoff game against the Capital City Go-Go, which the Mad Ants lost.
On March 29, the Pacers waived Queen.
On September 12, 2023, Queen signed with the Orlando Magic and on October 21, his deal was converted into a two-way contract.
