Chronic knee injuries cut short former Portland Trail Blazers star Brandon Roy's playing career, but according to multiple reports, the former All-Star guard has begun a coaching career.

Dawgman.com's Chris Fetters reports that Roy, who played in Portland from 2006-11, has accepted the head coaching job at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School.

Roy is a Seattle native and played for the Washington Huskies in college.

The Seattle Times reports that new Huskies assistant coach Michael Porter Sr. will enroll his two sons, both top recruits, at Nathan Hale to play for Roy.

Michael Porter Jr. is a five-star recruit and a top prospect in the 2017 class. Washington, Missouri, Virginia, Indiana and Oklahoma are the finalists in pursuit of Porter Jr. Jontay Porter, a class of 2018 prospect, has verbally committed to the Huskies.
