After a college career at both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Notre Dame, Humphrey was a first-round pick of the Utah Jazz in the 2002 NBA draft. On draft day, he was traded to the Orlando Magic in exchange for their pick, Curtis Borchardt. After appearing in 1/2 season with Orlando, Humphrey was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies alongside Mike Miller in exchange for Drew Gooden and Gordan Giriček. He played only 2 games during the 2003–04 season and then played 35 games for Memphis during the 2004–05 season.

Humphrey's final NBA game was on March 16, 2005 in a 88–82 win over the New Orleans Hornets where he recorded 2 points and 1 rebound. Humphrey played a total of 85 career games from 2002–2005 and averaged 2.3 points and 2.2 rebounds.

After a failed return attempt with the Minnesota Timberwolves (2005-06's preseason), Humphrey moved to the Italian league, with Bipop Carire Reggio Emilia. He signed with the Los Angeles Clippers in September 2006 but was waived in late October, also before the league's tip-off.[2] He later signed with APOEL B.C. in Cyprus, with whom he reached the 2007 Cypriot league finals.

In 2009, he arrived in Spain and played with Baloncesto León in the LEB Oro. In 2010, he signed with Cáceres 2016.
