FORT WORTH, Texas -- James Nnaji, the 7-foot center and 2023 NBA draft pick whose signing drew criticism from coaches across college basketball last month, made his debut on Saturday, in Baylor's 69-63 loss to TCU in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

While Nnaji never played in an official NBA game, the 2023 31st pick did participate in that year's Summer League, and was later part of the three-team trade that brought Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks.
