After going undrafted in 2020 following his standout career at BYU, Childs signed with the Washington Wizards organization and played in the NBA G League with the Erie BayHawks.
Last month, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers’ entry in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where he averaged exactly 7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.9 minutes per game over four contests.
Childs and his wife Megan, who played volleyball for the Utah Utes and UVU Wolverines, are expecting their first child in December.
