Free agent guard Markus Howard has agreed to a two-year contract with Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, according to Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews.
The news that the two sides were close to an agreement was first reported by Home of Glory.
Howard played last season with the Nuggets on a two-way contract. He became an unrestricted free agent when he was not extended a qualifying offer.
The undrafted guard out of Marquette suffered a sprained knee early last season, then appeared in 31 regular-season games after he returned. He averaged 4.1 PPG in 5.7 MPG.
During his rookie season in 2020/21, Howard has averaged 4.3 PPG in 37 games with Denver. He also saw action in nine postseason contests.
A great shooter than can get hot quick but not really a point guard and way too small to have any effect defensively. This will be a good move for him to add to his game. Not every player wants to sit at the end of a bench – NBA or not.
Great college player. He’ll start and thrive over there. Sure to get 15 a game and make more money.
