Former NBA guard Trevon Duval has signed with Salah BC, a team based in Azerbaijan that will compete in the qualification round of the upcoming Basketball Champions League (BCL), as Dario Skerletic of Sportando relays.
A former top high school recruit who played one college season at Duke, Duval went undrafted in 2018. He spent most of the 2018/19 season on a two-way contract with the Bucks, appearing in three NBA games.
Duval has spent most of his professional career in the NBA G League, playing for the Wisconsin Herd, Iowa Wolves and Grand Rapids Gold. The 26-year-old played in Turkey last season with Manisa Basket, Skerletic notes.
Here are a couple more international notes:
- French forward Damien Inglis has signed with the Yokohama B-Corsairs, the Japanese team announced in a press release. The 31st pick of the 2014 draft, Inglis spent two NBA seasons with the Bucks from 2014-16. While his NBA stint was brief, the 29-year-old has enjoyed a long career in Europe, playing for teams in France, Italy, Monaco and Spain. Last season with Valencia Basket, he averaged 8.2 PPG and 4.7 RPG in 32 EuroLeague games (20.5 MPG). This is Inglis’ first stint in Japan.
- Former Oregon State star Tres Tinkle will be heading to Turkey for the ’24/25 campaign, having signed with Darussafaka (Twitter link). A 6’7″ forward, Tinkle signed Exhibit 10 deals with the Lakers and Raptors in 2020, ultimately playing for the G League’s Raptors 905 during the ’20/21 season. He has spent the past three seasons playing for clubs in Italy, France and Spain, respectively.
- In case you missed it, guard Saben Lee and center Omer Yurtseven have signed international contracts in recent days. Both players played for NBA teams last season.
Bro, Ingles just stealing money at this point. Must be good with the young guys off court. Better players than he can’t get a vet gig. Must be an attitude thing.
Tres Tinkle and I have the same birthday. Is that good or bad?
