Early life and high school career

Mañon was born on December 9, 2001, in New Milford, New Jersey, and is of Dominican descent.[1][2] He attended Saint Joseph Regional High School in Montvale, where he was named first-team all-league, all-county and all-region as a senior, when he averaged 12.4 points per game.[3] He transferred to St. Thomas School for the 2019–20 season, where he was selected second-team All-New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC).[4] After high school, he committed to playing college basketball for Cornell.[3]

College career

[edit]

Mañon played three seasons at Cornell, missing the 2020–21 season, his freshman year, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He averaged 9.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore in 2021–22 and then averaged 11 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a junior in 2022–23, also setting Cornell's record for single-season steals (63) in the latter season.[3] In his senior year at Cornell, 2023–24, he was unanimously selected first-team All–Ivy League after averaging 12.5 points and four rebounds per game while being the conference leader in steals and steal percentage.[6] Mañon transferred to the Vanderbilt Commodores for a final season in 2024–25.[5] At Vanderbilt, he averaged 6.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.[2] His role was primarily defensive, which he described as "guard the best players on the other team and make life hell for them."[2]

Professional career

Mañon played with the Golden State Warriors during the 2025 NBA Summer League.[7][8] He was the team's leading scorer with 55 points and was also their leader in rebounds per game (5.2) and blocked shots (8).[9] He scored 17 points in his last game and averaged 11 points with the Warriors.[9] Afterwards, Mañon signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on July 24, 2025.[10][11] He made nine total appearances for the Lakers in the 2025–26 season, averaging 0.8 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.3 assists.[12]
