Best Answer

The oldest person to play in an NBA game was Providence Steamrollers coach Nat Hickey, who, in 1948, activated himself for one game in 1948 two days shy of his 46th birthday. The oldest player to play in more than one game in a season is Kevin Willis, who played five games in the 2006-2007 season with the Dallas Mavericks at the age of 44.

Ben Goldfaden was 33 when he played as a rookie in the ABA for the Washington Capitols in 1946.

However, since the NBA-ABA merger, Antoine Rigaudeau was the oldest rookie. He was 31 when he played as a rookie for the Dallas Mavericks in 2002-2003.
