After playing last season in the G League, Devonte’ Graham is nearing an agreement with Crvena Zvezda, according to Eurohoops, which cites an original report from Sport Klub. The 30-year-old point guard has been in talks with the Belgrade team “for some time.”
Graham was in training camp last fall with Portland on an Exhibit 9 contract, but he was waived before the season began. The 6’1″ guard joined the South Bay Lakers in December, but only appeared in five games, averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 assists. He was traded to the Rip City Remix in February, but didn’t suit up for them.
Taken with the 34th pick in the 2018 draft, Graham looked like a future star in Charlotte when he averaged 18.2 points and 7.5 assists in his second NBA season. However, he was never able to duplicate those numbers and was traded to New Orleans in 2021 and San Antonio in 2023.
The Spurs sent him back to Charlotte last summer, along with a second-round pick that was used to take Ryan Kalkbrenner. The Hornets waived Graham the same day.
He appeared in 336 regular season NBA games, making 171 starts and posting career averages of 11.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
If Graham signs with Crvena Zvezda, it will mark his first time playing overseas.
What was his FG% and defense when scoring 18ppg though.
