International Notes: Iwundu, Harrell, Mays

Former NBA swingman Wes Iwundu has signed with Promitheas Patras B.C. for the 2024/25 season, the Greek club announced in a press release.

The 33rd overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft, Iwundu has appeared in 226 total regular season games for Orlando, Dallas, New Orleans, and Atlanta, but hasn’t been in the league in either of the past two seasons since being waived by Sacramento in October 22. He played in the G League in 2022/23 and made the move to Europe for the ’23/24 campaign, spending the year in Germany.

Here are a few more items from around the international basketball world:

  • Hapoel Tel Aviv, the Israeli team that reportedly made a contract offer to Bruno Caboclo, continues to explore the free agent market for possible frontcourt upgrades. A report from Sport5 (hat tip to Sportando) identifies Montrezl Harrell as one of the big men receiving interest from Hapoel Tel Aviv.
  • Veteran guard Skylar Mays, who appeared in 38 games for the Trail Blazers and Lakers last season, is reportedly drawing interest from Italian team Olimpia Milano, as BasketNews.com relays. Alberto Marzagalia of EuroDevotion indicated that the two sides were engaged in negotiations, while Sportando reported that Mays continues to exhaust his NBA options before committing to moving overseas. A second-rounder in 2020, Mays has made 105 NBA appearances for Atlanta, Portland, and the Lakers.
  • In case you missed it, Aleksej Pokusevski (Partizan), Udoka Azubuike (Buducnost), and Usman Garuba (Real Madrid) are among the former NBA first-rounders who have joined teams in Europe in recent days.
