Point guard Markquis Nowell has signed with Spain’s Baskonia, Chema de Lucas tweets.
Nowell was on the Rockets’ training camp roster last year but didn’t make the 15-man regular season squad. He spent the season with the Rockets’ NBA G League team, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Nowell made 49 NBAGL appearances, averaging 16.1 points and 8.4 assists in 30.9 minutes per game.
Nowell was on Milwaukee’s Summer League roster this July.
A 5’7″ point guard, Nowell spent most of the 2023/24 season on a two-way contract with the Raptors after going undrafted out of Kansas State. He appeared in just one NBA game for Toronto before being cut that March.
Nowell won the Bob Cousy Award for the nation’s top collegiate point guard in his senior season with the Wildcats.
