Former NBA wing Brandon Rush has signed with Larissa BC in Greece, the team announced (h/t Sportando).
Rush spent nine seasons in the league after being drafted with the No. 13 overall pick and he won a championship with the Warriors during the 2014/15 campaign. His last NBA contract came during the 2017/18 season where he inked a 10-day deal with the Blazers. He never appeared in a game for Portland and the team allowed his contract to expire and didn’t bring him back afterward.
In addition to Portland and Golden State (two stints), Rush spent time with Indiana, Utah, and Minnesota. In 481 NBA games, the wing scored 6.8 points per contest while shooting 42.6% from the field.
I wondered whatever happened to him. He was just starting to come into his own when he missed an entire year to injury. He never really recovered, at least his career didn’t.
Keep making that $$$ B-Rush!
I was rooting for the Kanasas team he co-led to win that title, just because they had not won it all recently. But shortly after NCAA champs started looking not as great as they used to… after about 2010 or so. Excepting the second Villanova title team. The Final 4 played under a big dome doesn’t help. Last years’ teams were so defensively-oriented. Anyway.
Ok
