Isaac Copeland, Jr. is an American professional basketball player for Lavrio of the Greek Basket League. He played college basketball for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Georgetown Hoyas.

Early life

Copeland was born in Greenville, North Carolina and attended high school at Ravenscroft School in Raleigh, North Carolina and Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. He was a five-star recruit and signed to play with Georgetown in 2014.

College career

Copeland initially played two full seasons at Georgetown but suffered a back injury in 2016, requiring surgery, resulting in a medical redshirt season. He subsequently transferred to Nebraska in the mid-season but did not practice with the team during his rehabilitation. He spent his remaining two seasons with Nebraska, but tore his ACL near the end of his senior season, resulting in missing his final games at Nebraska. Teammate Isaiah Roby wore Copeland's uniform during Senior Day to honor the injured Copeland. Copeland was an All-Big Ten honorable mention as a junior after finishing second on the team in scoring, rebounding and blocks. In his injury-shortened senior season, he averaged 14.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Professional career

Texas Legends (2019–2020)

Copeland went undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft but later signed with the Texas Legends as a local tryout. He would subsequently be reunited with Husker teammate Isaiah Roby, who would be sent to the Legends on assignment from the Dallas Mavericks.
