Former NBA center Johnathan Williams has parted ways with Turkish team Galatasaray, according to a team press release. The undrafted big man appeared in 15 games, including six starts, with the Wizards last season. He also saw action in 17 games for Washington’s G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. He played in 24 games with the Lakers during the 2018/19 season.
We have more from around the basketball world:
- Former Warriors center Festus Ezeli is in quarantine in the G League bubble in Orlando and will be out Sunday, Marc Spears of ESPN tweets. He’s in the player pool there, making him eligible to be picked up by any team. Ezeli, 31, logged 170 NBA games but hasn’t played since the 2016 NBA Finals due to knee injuries.
- China Central Television (CCTV) still isn’t showing NBA games, Bill Shea of The Athletic reports. CCTV stopped airing games prior to last season after then Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted support for pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong. CCTV did show two NBA Finals games in October.
- Free agent Christ Koumadje has reached agreement with Alba Berlin in Germany, JD Shaw of Hoops Rumors tweets. The 7’3” center was the G League Defensive Player of the Year for the Delaware Blue Coats last season. Koumadje, 24, was in training camp with the Sixers in 2019. International journalist Christos Harpidis first reported the sides were in advanced talks.
Festus was pretty decent, has been rehabbing as long as Patton has. With the big fella shortage I’d guess he will be garnering some long looks in the bubble if his physical health is good.
It’s been years since I heard his name. At least he got a ring with the Warriors back in 2015. He missed even more games in those days than the bigs on their roster have been this season. I doubt anyone is that desperate.
Festus Ezeli can’t possibly get a shot to play in the G-League?
Did you even read the article?
Don’t answer that, it was rhetorical
Oh China, give me a break! So sensitive…smdh
Who are you really even punishing…I’ll wait, China!
Can’t even take a joke, crazy commies
Festus is hoping to be teamed with…………………….
