The Inspiring Journey of Chris Duarte: From Puerto Plata to NBA Stardom

2023-01-02 08:00:00

Chris Duarte is part of the Indiana Pacers in the NBA, but the truth is that his story is not typical of a young American who entered the world of sports from a young age, because he only arrived in that country when he was a teenager.

The escort was actually born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. However, his parents decided to move to New York and it was there that he began to show his basketball skills in the last two years of high school.

He is 25 years old, which is why he is at a moment of full splendor in his career, which currently makes him one of the key pieces in his team. He was born on June 13, 1997.

It stands at 1.98 meters, but has a wingspan of approximately two meters. His height plus his athletic talent make him currently stand out for his excellent outside shooting.

The athlete’s closest environment is made up of his mother Ana Luisa Duarte, his stepfather Leonardo Sánchez (who raised him after the death of his biological father) and his brother Jean Michel Theoret. The Dominican himself said several times before the media: “I am a person very attached to my family” and for this reason, whenever he can, he travels to his native country to visit them.

He is also in a relationship with a woman named Sylvia Velázquez and they both have two children.

In 2021 he signed the employment contract with the NBA team, which established that during the first two years he would receive an income of around 3 million dollars per year. The agreement was made for 4 years and 17.7 million dollars and in the 2024-25 season the Pacers will decide whether or not he continues to have the figure on their roster.
