AUGUST 12: Nunnally has reached a buyout agreement with Olimpia Milano and finalized his deal with China’s Shanghai Sharks, according to a pair of stories from Sportando.
JULY 28: James Nunnally, who spent time with the Timberwolves and Rockets last season, is expected to sign with the Shanghai Sharks, according to Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.
After four years out of the NBA, the 29-year-old small forward won a roster spot with Minnesota last fall and saw limited playing time in 13 games. He was waived in early January before the league-wide salary guarantee date. He signed a 10-day contract with Houston later that month, but was released after six days to open a roster spot for Kenneth Faried.
Nunnally returned to Europe to finish the season, signing a two-year deal with Olimpia Milano. However, former Spurs assistant Ettore Messina took over the team last month and wants to move on from Nunnally, Carchia adds, so he will be released from his contract.
Ah, the Shanghai Sharks, that’s the team Zion Williamson will be playing for in three years.
