context_page_description: Glen Anthony Rice Jr. is an American professional basketball player for Juventus Utena of the Lithuanian Basketball League. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2013 NBA draft, but he was traded on draft night to the Wizards. He formerly played college basketball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets basketball team but was dismissed from the team during his junior season for the 2011–12 Yellow Jackets team and went pro the following season, playing a year for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA Development League. He led the Vipers to a D-League championship in 2013. As a professional, Rice has developed a reputation as a dunker, earning an invitation to the D-League slam dunk contest and then earning two slam dunk of the day recognitions in the 2013 NBA Summer League. He was MVP of the 2014 NBA Summer League and the 2018 Israeli State Cup.
  In high school, Rice was the Cobb County, Georgia player of the year as a junior at George Walton Comprehensive High School and an All-State selection as both a junior and senior. He joined a highly recruited class at Georgia Tech. He is the son of NBA All-Star Glen Rice.
context_section_description: On July 8, 2013, Rice signed with the Washington Wizards. In the 2013 NBA Summer League, he twice registered the Summer League Sprite Dunk of the Day (July 14 and 19). Rice made his professional debut in the Wizards' seventh game of the season on November 12, 2013, against the Dallas Mavericks, making his only shot (a three-pointer) and adding a rebound. After Rice's debuted by playing the final 79 seconds of a loss that caused the Wizards to fall to 2–5, head coach Randy Wittman said he would probably shuffle the lineup. In the following game against San Antonio on November 13, Rice played 13 minutes and tallied 3 rebounds while registering his first NBA steal. On December 9, with Bradley Beal injured and Martell Webster sitting out, Rice who had totaled 11 points in his first 8 games, was given his first NBA start against Denver. Rice scored 7 points to go along with 3 rebounds and 3 steals. On December 18, Rice had an outpatient procedure in New York to repair a fractured right wrist suffered two days earlier. He was expected to miss 3–6 weeks.
  On January 20, 2014, Rice was assigned to the Iowa Energy of the NBA D-League, in what was regarded more as a rehab assignment than a demotion. On January 28, 2014, he was recalled by the Wizards after averaging 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.0 steals in three NBADL games. On February 27, 2014, Rice was reassigned to the Iowa Energy. On April 5, 2014, he was recalled by the Wizards.
  Following his first season, Rice was available to the Wizards on a team option for a salary of $816,000. Rice joined the team for the 2014 NBA Summer League, where he averaged a league-leading 25 points as well as 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.3 assists.  He earned NBA All-Summer League 1st team (along with Wizards teammate Otto Porter) and NBA Summer League MVP recognition. One of his highlights was a game-tying three-point shot in double overtime of the Summer League playoff quarterfinal game. However, with the offseason acquisition of Paul Pierce, both Rice and Porter were expected to see limited minutes at small forward during the 2014–15 regular season. Rice was the recipient of what the league ruled was a November 4 groin strike by J. R. Smith that led to a one-game suspension for Smith. Rice had been called for a personal foul on the play in a game against the New York Knicks. On November 20, 2014 he was assigned to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA Development League. On January 7, 2015, he was waived by the Wizards.
