Louis Gabriel "Lou" Amundson (born December 7, 1982) is an American professional basketball player.

Early life and college

Amundson grew up in Boulder, Colorado.[1] He played college basketball at UNLV from 2001 to 2002 and then from 2003 to 2006, missing the 2002-03 season as a medical redshirt due to a thumb infection.

Professional career

Amundson has played in the NBA D-League and was named the NBA D-League Rookie of the Year in 2007.

On March 8, 2007, Amundson signed a ten-day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.[2]

On August 14, 2008, Amundson signed a two-year contract with the Phoenix Suns.[3] On June 30, 2009, Suns exercised the team option on Amundson's contract.[4]

On September 13, 2010, Amundson signed a two-year $4.17 million contract with the Golden State Warriors, with the second year being a player option.[5] During 46 games, he averaged 4.3 points and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes of play. After the 2010-2011 season, he exercised his option to stay with the Warriors for one more year.[6]

On October 16, 2010, in a game against the Trail Blazers in Portland, Amundson dislocated the middle knuckle on his right index finger and had a fracture at its base that required surgery.[7]

On October 18, 2010, Amundson underwent successful surgery to repair this fractured right index finger. The procedure was performed by Dr. Andrew Gutow, a hand specialist from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, at the Menlo Park Surgical Hospital.[8]

On December 19, 2011, Amundson was traded to the Indiana Pacers for Brandon Rush.[9]

On March 13, 2012, Amundson helped avenge his broken finger from the prior season when he was with Golden State and scored a career-high 21 points to help Indiana beat the Portland Trail Blazers 92-75.[10]

He signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on September 25, 2012.[11][12] He was waived on February 8, 2013.[13]

  • Played 25 games with the Colorado 14ers of the D-League in 2006–07, averaging 11.1 points (56.3% FGs), 7.6 rebounds and 2.48 blocks in 25.0 minutes per game.
  • Was named All-NBA D-League First Team for the 2006–07 season while also picking up Rookie of the Year honors.
