As a player, Peavy worked with teams in North America and Europe, besides playing as a native in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). In international competition, he represented Puerto Rico. A series of injuries resulted in prolonged periods of inactivity which ultimately led to his retirement.

Early life

[edit]

Peavy was born in Dayton, Ohio, on March 31, 1985, to Terry Peavy, a former professional basketball player drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1979, and Nila Lisa De Jesús, a former member of the Puerto Rico women's national swimming team.

Professional career

[edit]

From 2003 to 2007, Peavy played for the Miami (OH) Redhawk basketball team, where he averaged 11.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and .519 FG% in his final year.

In 2007, Peavy turned professional by joining the Paderborn Baskets of the German Basketball League, where he played until 2009. In 2009, Peavy signed with the Artland Dragons of the same league.

Before the beginning of the 2012–13 season, he suffered a cruciate ligament rupture during a friendly game. As a result of this injury, he did not play for ALBA Berlin this season anymore.
