Reeves Bruce Nelson (born September 18, 1991) is an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins from 2009 until 2011, when he was dismissed from the team. He has also played in Mexico and Belgium.
Nelson played professionally for Žalgiris Kaunas in the Lithuanian Basketball League for five weeks before being released. He then declared for the 2012 NBA draft, but was not selected. Nelson then spent a pre-season with the Los Angeles Lakers before playing with the Los Angeles D-Fenders and Delaware 87ers in the NBA Development League (D-League).
Nelson signed to attend University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after graduating from Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, California. He was called "the prototypical [UCLA coach] Ben Howland player" by ESPN.com. He joined the UCLA Bruins team in 2009 as part of a five-player freshmen class that also included Tyler Honeycutt.
Nelson finished his sophomore season as the Bruins' top scorer (13.9) and rebounder (9.1) in 2010–11, and he was named first team All-Pac-10. In his junior year, he played six games of the 2011–12 season before he was suspended by coach Ben Howland for being late to a team meeting and behavior that was considered insubordinate. Howland reinstated him two days later, but Nelson later missed a team flight on November 19, 2011. He was suspended again on December 6, and finally dismissed from the team three days later.
