He played for five different throughout his career as he was initially drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 2000 before getting traded to the Denver Nuggets for a year in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003 Donnell played for the Orlando Magic, followed by the\u00a0Phoenix Suns from 2003 to 2004, the Sioux Falls Skyforce from 2004 to 2005, and the New Jersey Nets in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>He played his final game for the NBA in February 2005 before jetting off across the world to play for various teams for another nine years. He officially retired from basketball in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>However, basketball isn&#8217;t gone from his life entirely as during a 2016 interview he shared that he&#8217;d started an after school program to play the sport with children in elementary school.<\/p>\n<p>Donnell explained: &#8220;I implemented my youth program to really just maximize a young kid\u2019s opportunity.
