Christopher Levour "Chris" Warren (born January 19, 1981 in Garland, Texas) is a Panamanian American professional basketball player. He is a 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in) tall shooting guard. He currently plays for KK Cedevita in Croatia.

College career

As a junior, Warren averaged 4.1 points per game off the bench for a University of South Carolina team that was the National Invitation Tournament runner up in the 2001–02 season. He increased his numbers the following year reaching 9.6 points per game. His game was not spectacular, but he earned the reputation of a solid defensive player who could also run the floor well and had a good first step. The latter offensive skill would prove to be more than accurate during his career in the Euroleague.

Professional career

Not being drafted by any NBA team and being unknown in Europe, Warren signed for the 2003–04 season with the Mexican League club Panteras de Aguascalientes and won the Mexican championship. He started the following season with Chilean League club Deportivo Universidad Católica, went back to Panteras de Aguascalientes and in January he played in Portugal four games for Oliveirense. On February 2005 he moved to Serbia and signed with Reflex. After that, he went back again to the Mexican League and played for Mineros de Cananea.

Warren's big opportunity came on February 2006, when he moved to Croatia for traditional powerhouse KK Cibona and played there until the end of the 2007–08 championship. With Cibona he won back to back Croatian Championships and had two great Euroleague seasons, averaging 13.7 and 15.6 points per game. When he moved to Italy for the 2008–09 season to play for Euroleague club Air Avellino, he had already established himself as a very reliable offensive player in the Euroleague.^{[citation needed]}

Warren is a member of the Panama national basketball team and won the bronze medal at the 2003 Centrobasket. He also played at the 2005 FIBA Americas Championship, finishing fifth.
