Overview
- Beşiktaş confirmed Thursday that it signed 27‑year‑old guard Lonnie Walker IV, three days after the Denver Nuggets waived him on Oct. 12.
- Walker had been on a one‑year, non‑guaranteed deal with Denver and played two preseason games, totaling 17 minutes and four points before the team cut him.
- The guard returns to the EuroLeague off a strong season with Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he averaged about 15.2 points per game, and brings seven NBA seasons of experience and career averages near 10.0 points.
- Walker’s agent Misko Raznatovic and agency BeoBasket moved quickly to secure the contract, illustrating how agents and European clubs rapidly place players after short NBA stints.
- Besiktas signed Walker to address struggles in both Turkey’s Basketbol Super Ligi and the EuroLeague, where he is expected to provide immediate scoring and depth alongside several former NBA players.
