Glen Davis Headed To The G League

After two years out of the NBA, Glen Davis will go to the G League in an effort to make it back, tweets Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.

His agent, John Hamilton, told Spears that Davis has agreed to a G League contract and is waiting to be claimed by a team. The Texas Legends, Dallas’ affiliate, hold the first waiver selection, according to Adam Johnson of 2 Ways and 10 Days (Twitter link).

Now 31, Davis’ last NBA job was with the Clippers in 2014/15. He was part of L.A’s rotation, appearing in 74 games and averaging more than 12 minutes per night, but had ankle surgery after the season and wasn’t re-signed.

Davis is one of the few remaining active players to be drafted by the Seattle Supersonics. A second-round pick in 2007, he was traded to Boston on draft night along with Ray Allen and became part of the the 2007/08 championship team. He was dealt to the Magic in 2011 and signed with the Clippers after agreeing to a buyout in Orlando in 2014.

Here are the G League assignments and recalls for Halloween, from across the NBA:

Donald Sloan To Play In G League

Donald Sloan has signed a contract to play in the G League, Chris Reichert of The Step Back reports (Twitter link). Sloan previously played in the G League during the 2012/13 season. However, no team currently owns his rights, which means he’ll enter the league’s player pool.

Sloan turned down several international offers to join the Wizards for training camp. He was hoping to not only make the team’s opening night roster but to also contribute as a member of their rotation.

I came [to Washington] to be a part of what they’re trying to do here. I came to be that guy off the bench to give them what they need. I came to be that guy with backup minutes,” Sloan said earlier this month.

The Wizards waived the point guard just days before their first contest of the season, opting to keep Carrick Felix on as the team’s 15th man. Felix hasn’t seen any minutes for this Wizards this season, though he was suspended one game for leaving the team’s bench during an on-court altercation last week.

Sloan has played for five NBA teams since arriving in the league back in 2011. He spent time with Pacers, Nets, Cavs, Pelicans, and Hawks, averaging 5.5 points per game while sporting a player efficiency rating of 11.9.
