Dontonio B. Wingfield (born June 23 1974, in Albany, Georgia) is a former American professional basketball player, mainly in the power forward position.

Basketball career

Wingfield had a stellar high school career at Westover, where he lead his team to 4-staight state championships, earning him McDonald's All American team honors in a class considered to be one of the best national high school classes ever; the class included Randy Livingston, Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, Rashard Griffith, Darnell Robinson and others. A 6'8" forward, Wingfield had a solid freshman season with the University of Cincinnati's Bearcats; he arrived there precisely after the departure of point guard Nick Van Exel.

Subsequently, he was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 2nd round (37th overall) of the 1994 NBA Draft, but appeared sparingly throughout his short National Basketball Association career; after his debut with the Sonics (20 games, 81 minutes), he was selected by the Toronto Raptors in the 1995 expansion draft, but was waived before the season began.

From 1995–98, Wingfield collected a further 94 regular season appearances, for the Portland Trail Blazers. On March 10, 1996, against the Indiana Pacers, he scored a career-high 17 points, adding seven rebounds and five assists (career-high tie) in a 113–108 win.

In early 1998, Wingfield was cut by the Oregon franchise, finishing the season with Spain's Baloncesto León. In his NBA career, he played in 114 games and scored a total of 423 points.
