College career

After a high school career at David W. Carter High School in Dallas, Combs committed to North Texas Mean Green men's basketball, where he played for coach Tony Benford. In three seasons for the Mean Green, Combs averaged 12 points and 8.2 rebounds for the team and as a sophomore was named second-team All-Conference USA. At the close of Combs' three seasons at North Texas, Benford was fired and subsequently hired as an assistant at Louisiana State University (LSU). Combs was eligible as a graduate transfer and followed Benford to Baton Rouge.[1]

In his lone season at LSU, Combs was limited to six games as he struggled with the lingering effects of his ankle injury suffered at North Texas.[2] Following the season, he and LSU parted ways, but he was granted a fifth year of eligibility and transferred to Texas Southern to complete it.[3] Combs made the most of his extra year, averaging 17 points and 9 rebounds per game and earning Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Player of the Year honors.[4]

For the 2020–21 season, Combs moved to Israel to play for Hapoel Ramat Gan Givatayim. In 30 games, he averaged 20.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game.[7] He returned to Hapoel Ramat Gan for the 2021–22 season but left in mid December 2021. In 10 games, he averaged 14.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game.[7]

In January 2022, Combs joined Maccabi Hod HaSharon for the rest of the season. In 18 games, he averaged 15.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game.[7]

Combs joined the Saigon Heat for the 2023 ABL season. He helped the team reach the final and averaged 15.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 19 games.[8]

On March 30, 2023, Combs signed with the Rockingham Flames of the NBL1 West for the 2023 season.[9] He was named to the NBL1 National Finals All-Star Five.[10]
