Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Ian Mahinmi was born in 1986 and raised in Rouen, France. His name is pronounced "Yahn mah-HEEN-me", but he is comfortable with either the English (Ian) or French pronunciations. Mahinmi says his dad calls him Ian while his mom refers to him as Yan. Mahinmi's mother is from Jamaica and his father is from Benin, Africa. The big center has two brothers and two sisters. His older brother played professional soccer in Canada. Mahinmi helped lead France to a bronze medal in the 2004 European Junior Championships. He was a member of the French National Team from 2006 through 2011. Mahinmi represented France in the 2010 World Championships in Turkey and averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 10.0 minutes in six appearances. The veteran has his own fashion line called French Deal. He also hosts a basketball camp in France during the summer. Fans can follow him on Twitter (@ianmahinmi) and Instagram (ianou76). Mahinmi began his professional basketball career in 2004-05 with STB Le Havre of the Jeep Elite league in France, averaging 6.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 33 games. His raw talent drew the interest of the Spurs, which selected the 6-foot-11 center with the 28th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. Mahinmi remained in Europe and started 28 of 36 games the following season, averaging 19.6 minutes per contest and posting per-game averages of 9.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks while shooting 56.1 percent from the field. He graduated to France's top professional league in 2006-07, playing 51 games for Elan Bearnais Pau-Orthez. Mahinmi continued his efficient shooting during that season, notching a 55.3 field goal percentage and a respectable 68.4 FT mark from the line. He also averaged 4.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks despite averaging 12.2 minutes of run.

Brings end to career

July 6, 2021
Mahinmi announced Tuesday during an appearance on BeIn Sports' "NBA Extra Show" that he has retired from professional basketball.
ANALYSIS
After not finding an opportunity at the NBA level or playing overseas in 2020-21, the 34-year-old Mahinmi had already looked to be trending toward retirement, but it wasn't until Tuesday that he officially confirmed as much. A 2005 first-round pick, Mahinmi spent parts of 12 seasons in the NBA with San Antonio, Dallas, Indiana and Washington, bringing most of his value on the defensive end. He retires with averages of 5.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game over 618 career regular-season appearances. He captured his lone NBA championship as a member of the Mavericks in 2010-11.

Mahinmi is entering the final year of his lucrative four-year, $64 million contract, and if his first three seasons in Washington are any indication, the big man is unlikely to be a featured part of the team's rotation. Mahinmi appeared in just 34 games for Washington last season, and while he did deal with some minor injuries, most of his time on the bench was simply due to him being on the outside of the rotation. This is due in large part to the emergence of Thomas Bryant, and with Bryant fresh off signing a three-year, $25 million contract this offseason, the Wizards are likely going to get all they can out of their young big. On top of that, Washington acquired another young big man in Moritz Wagner via a trade with the Lakers, and with the Wizards likely in a scenario where they want to see as much out of their young talent as possible, Wagner should manage to crack the rotation. As a result, Mahinmi looks to be on track to be on the outside of the rotation looking in yet again. Even if Mahinmi does manage to crack the rotation at some point this season, the fact that he hasn't averaged more than 15 minutes per game in each of his last two seasons in Washington shows that he doesn't boast much fantasy value in his 12th NBA season.
After playing just 31 games due to injuries in his first season in Washington, Mahinmi took the court for 77 contests in 2017-18. However, that didn't net him any more playing time, as the 6-foot-11 center was still stuck behind Marcin Gortat on the depth chart. In 14.9 minutes as a reserve, Mahinmi finished with averages of 4.8 points and 4.1 rebounds, while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor. After another modest season overall, the 31-year-old appeared set for a much larger role during the upcoming campaign following the trade that sent Gortat to the Clippers, but those hopes were crushed fairly quickly with the addition of Dwight Howard in free agency. As a result, Mahinmi is set for backup duties again and likely isn't going to see many more minutes than the 14.9 he averaged last year, which should keep him off the radar in the bulk of Fantasy leagues.
Mahinmi, during his first season with Washington, appeared in just 31 games while dealing with knee and calf injuries. When he did see the floor, he largely played a backup role to starting center Marcin Gortat, averaging 5.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 17.9 minutes per game while shooting 58.6 percent from the floor. The 30-year-old has struggled to find starters’ minutes throughout his career, so his workload and production was ultimately no surprise. While he occasionally shows flashes of promise, that usually comes when he draws a start or sees extended run due to an injury, making him generally a better play in daily rather than year-long formats. Considering the center situation in Washington hasn’t seen much, if any, significant change, he’ll likely be in line for a similar workload heading into next season. As a result, he can probably be safely avoided in the majority of Fantasy formats.
Last year was Mahinmi's seventh season in the Association. He averaged 4.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 19 minutes per game for a struggling Pacers team. The 19 minutes per game were a career high, demonstrating the thin status of Indiana's roster for most of last year. And despite the return of All-Star Paul George and the addition of combo guard Monta Ellis, the roster is still thin, particularly in the low post. The departures of veterans Roy Hibbert and David West leave a huge void for Mahinmi, Jordan Hill, and rookie Myles Turner to fill. Unless the 19-year-old Turner develops quickly, Mahinmi could be looking at a second straight season in which he enjoys a career high in minutes played per game. Unfortunately, the extra playing time probably won't result in much offensive output. At this point in Mahinmi's career, he is what he is. Expect another season of modest scoring, modest rebounds, fewer than expected blocks, but solid team defense. In fantasy, he's bench fodder for deeper leagues.
Although Mahinmi's minutes last season remained similar to his 2012-13 campaign, the big man suffered a drop-off in production. He improved his field goal percentage to 48 percent, but he scored 1.5 less points per game and registered 0.6 less rebounds. The one bright spot last season was his defense, as he recorded a career-best 72 blocks, averaging 0.9 per game. He'll head into 2014-15 as Roy Hibbert's primary backup for the third straight year, so there's little reason to expect any major increase in production. At best, Mahinmi could be used as a cheap source of blocks in deeper formats. He suffered a shoulder injury while practicing with the French national team in August and could miss most of the preseason, which may result in him playing a reduced role at the start of the season.
Mahinmi saw his minutes limited due to the emergence of Roy Hibbert last season but will still remain one of the Pacers' key offensive threats in the paint off the bench. Along with Hibbert, Mahinmi also worked out with Tim Duncan in San Antonio this summer, which should show by some improvement in the veteran's low-post play.
Mahinmi responded well to an opportunity in Dallas last season and the Pacers were convinced. In a sign-and-trade, they gave him a four-year, $16 million contract. His offense is very limited, but the Pacers didn’t acquire him for that. As a 15-18 minute-per-game backup to Roy Hibbert, Mahinmi needs to rebound, defend and protect the rim. That’s something the Pacers lacked in 2011-12.
Mahinmi enters the season as the primary backup center after playing in a career-best 56 games last year. He’s energetic and a capable rebounder but has a tendency to get into foul trouble. If Haywood misses any time, Mahinmi may garner attention in deeper fantasy leagues but for now he remains an unpolished reserve.
Mahinmi spent two unproductive seasons in San Antonio where he showed flashes of talent but failed to win the trust of coach Gregg Popovich. The Mavericks felt he was worth the risk and signed the Frenchman to a two-year deal. His minutes will be scarce playing behind Haywood and Chandler, and he is not a viable fantasy player.
Mahinmi has played in just six NBA games over the last two seasons and is strictly end-of-the-bench filler for the Spurs. Since San Antonio currently has 17 players on the roster, he's a candidate to be cut before the start of the season.
Mahinmi may finally get a chance to stick with the Spurs' roster this season as a backup center/forward. Mahinmi is a good athlete who rebounded the ball well in the summer league. At just 22, he still lacks a great deal of basketball experience and will get limited minutes if he sticks on the roster.
Mahinmi was brought over from France after he spent a couple of years in the French League. At just 20, Mahinmi is still several years away from making a contribution for the Spurs.
Mahinmi was San Antonio's first-round draft pick, but Spurs general manager R. C. Buford wants the 18-year old to continue to develop his game in France.
