Darren Ng (Chinese: 黄立人; pinyin: Huáng Lìrén; born 18 December 1983[citation needed]) is an Australian former professional basketball player.

[citation needed] He decided to sit out the 2012–13 NBL season for family and career reasons, being a new father and a practising physician as a resident doctor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH).

Born and bred in Adelaide, Ng went to St Peter's College and it was in Year 10 that he decided to pursue a career in medicine.

Ng signed with the Singapore Slingers for the 2007–08 NBL season and averaged a career high 13.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

X-rays cleared Ng of any broken bones but further MRI scans revealed significant ligament damage which has put him on the sidelines for an expected 8–12 weeks.

I'll reassess it (NBL future) again next year...But it's probably going to be hard to stay away completely from basketball so at this stage I'm planning to continue playing state league (with Sturt in 2013).
