CHICAGO (October 25, 2017) – Former Loyola University Chicago standout and Chicago native Milton Doyle will begin his professional playing career as a member of the Long Island Nets in the NBA G League. The 6-foot-4 guard was on the Brooklyn Nets training camp roster this season after signing as a free agent over the summer.
 
Doyle, who graduated from Loyola in May, was one of the all-time greats to wear the Maroon and Gold. He finished his career ranked eighth on the program's all-time scoring chart with 1,606 points and sixth with 459 assists. During his four-year career, Doyle helped the Ramblers to the 2015 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) title in the program's first postseason appearance in 30 years, and led them to their first Associated Press Top 25 Poll votes since 1985.
 
As a senior in 2016-17, the versatile guard put up 15.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game en route to First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) First Team All-District recognition. He is the first player in program history to be named First Team All-MVC.
 
Doyle was impressive during a stint with the Brooklyn Nets in NBA Summer League action in Vegas in July, averaging 10.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg and 1.5 apg, while shooting 56.7 percent (17-for-30) from the field and 50 percent (5-for-10) from three-point range.
 
The Long Island Nets are scheduled to open their 2017-18 season at home against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on November 4 and will play in Chicago on Dec. 20 when they face the Windy City Bulls at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.
