Maledon agreed to a contract Thursday with French club ASVEL Basket,
Eurohoops.net reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2020 second-round pick of the Thunder, Maledon has bounced around between the Oklahoma City, Houston, Charlotte and Phoenix organizations over the past four seasons. He spent the 2023-24 campaign as a two-way player for the Hornets and Suns, appearing in just 17 regular-season games while averaging 12.5 minutes per contest. After hitting free agency this offseason and taking part in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Magic, the 23-year-old guard presumably wasn't able to attract much interest from NBA clubs, so he'll return to France and reunite with ASVEL, whom he played with for three seasons before making the jump to North America.
