Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Matthew Richard Ryan was born in April of 1997 in White Plains, New York. He is the son of Richard and Laurie Ryan and has an older sister and a younger brother. For high school, Ryan attended Iona Prep in New Rochelle, New York. As a senior, he led Iona to their first Class AA Archdiocesan Championship and averaged 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists per contest. Ryan started his college career at Notre Dame, but received limited playing time for the Fighting Irish. In the summer of 2017, Ryan transferred to Vanderbilt. After sitting out the 2017-18 season, Ryan started 25 of 29 games for Vandy in 2018-19 and averaged 24.9 minutes of run per game. He also hit 2.0 three-pointers per contest for the Commodores. Ryan then graduated from Vanderbilt with a degree in Economics. For the 2019-2020 season, Ryan was a graduate transfer at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Ryan delivered 15.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 made three-pointers per game for the Mocs. Ryan then went undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft. In 2021-22, Ryan played in 28 games for the G League's Grand Rapid Gold, before signing a two-way contract with the Boston Celtics.

Upgraded to standard deal
FNew Orleans Pelicans
April 14, 2024
The Pelicans signed Ryan to a standard NBA contract Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Since the Pelicans claimed him off waivers from the Timberwolves in October, Ryan has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign as one of New Orleans' three two-way players. Heading into Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lakers, Ryan has appeared in 27 games (one start) while averaging 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 14.4 minutes per contest. While Ryan isn't expected to be part of New Orleans' rotation during the team's upcoming playoff run, his conversion from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract at least ensures that he'll be eligible to play during the postseason.
