Javon Freeman-Liberty has joined the Brisbane Bullets in Australia’s NBL, reports ESPN’s Olgun Uluc (via Twitter). He will head overseas on a one-year deal.
Freeman-Liberty played 22 games for the Raptors in the 2023/24 season, averaging 7.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per night. He spent last year with the Windy City Bulls G League team, where he averaged 19.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 35.6% from three on 7.9 attempts per game.
The 6’4″, 25-year-old guard is coming off a strong Summer League with the Bulls that saw him average 21 points, six rebounds, and 3.4 assists.
The Bullets came in eighth in the NBL last season out of 10 teams and are hoping that the addition of Freeman-Liberty can help boost them up the standings.
“To add a talent of Javon’s caliber to our roster at this stage is really exciting,” said head coach Stu Lash, according to the NBL website. “He’s a hungry player who’s ready to take the next step in his development as a professional. His toughness, ferocity, and willingness to compete make him a natural fit for what we value at the Brisbane Bullets.”
Bullets….ouch.
