Brothers in elbows: Gophers’ Cade Tyson, Nuggets’ Hunter Tyson

Cade leads the Big Ten in scoring at 21.3 points per game while Hunter supports the Denver Nuggets after being drafted in 2023, shaped by a competitive family upbringing.

  • On Nov. 18, Cade Tyson was honored at Williams Arena for scoring 1,000 career points, while his brother Hunter Tyson plays off the bench for the Denver Nuggets.
  • Growing up in Monroe, N.C., Jonathan Tyson, father and coach, provided gym access and games while their modest first hoop was an iron rim on a 5-foot post.
  • During Hunter's 2023-24 rookie year, Cade Tyson excelled at Belmont Bruins, shooting 46% from three and averaging 16.2 points, while Cade struggled at North Carolina last season.
  • Cade's 21.3 points-per-game average puts him among the Big Ten and national leaders, and he can build on that hot start when Minnesota Golden Gophers face Stanford Thursday in the Acrisure Series in Palm Desert, Calif.
  • Parents and coaches emphasize mental toughness, with Jonathan Tyson, Chief of School Performance for Union County Public Schools, noting pride in overcoming social media challenges.
