Clemson Tigers point guard Al-Amir Dawes enters transfer portal

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson point guard Al-Amir Dawes has entered the men's basketball transfer portal, becoming the second Tigers point guard to do so since the season ended.

Team spokesman Ben Winterrowd confirmed Dawes' decision in a text message Tuesday.

Dawes is a 6-foot-2 junior from Newark, New Jersey. He started 66 games in three seasons including 25 this past season, when he was second on the team in scoring (11.3 points a game) and led the Tigers with 84 3-pointers.

Dawes was among the team's best outside shooters, hitting nearly 40% of attempts from behind the arc and nearly 90% from the foul line.

Dawes joins Nick Honor in entering the portal. Honor was a former Fordham transfer and had spent the past three seasons with the Tigers.

The Tigers finished 17-16 in the 2021-22 season.
