Born on January 12, 1999, Xavier Tillman Sr. plays as a forward for the Boston Celtics in the NBA. He was drafted with the 35th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, but was soon traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he spent his first four seasons.

Prior to the NBA, Tillman made a name for himself while playing for the Forest Hills Central High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Later, he played at Grand Rapids Christian, eventually emerging as a consensus four-star athlete. He then played college basketball at Michigan State from 2017 to 2020. Renowned for his exceptional defense in college, Tillman was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award in 2020.

Since being drafted into the NBA, Tillman has constantly refined his game and primarily serves as a backup power forward off the bench. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches tall, Tillman boasts a robust physique well-suited for the forward position. His formidable presence in the paint enables him to hold his ground against most big men. In the 2023/24 NBA season, Tillman averaged 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 54 games for both the Grizzlies and the Celtics.
