Biography
Donald Adam Royal (born May 22, 1966) is a retired American professional basketball player, a 6'8" small forward. He played his collegiate basketball at the University of Notre Dame for four seasons (from 1983 to 1987), and was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third round (52nd overall pick) of the 1987 NBA draft. Royal played in 8 NBA seasons for five different teams (for some repeatedly): Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets.
In his NBA career, Royal played in 504 games and scored a total of 3,161 points. His best period as a professional came during the 1992–93 NBA season as a member of the Magic, appearing in 77 games and averaging 9.2 ppg.
