Etienne spent three seasons playing college basketball at Wichita State. In his last year with the Shockers, he averaged 14.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 35.9% from the field and 32.6% from three-point range.
It’s highly likely that Etienne will be waived before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season. However, there’s a strong possibility he could join the Long Island Nets, the G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets.
