In a surprising turn of events, former NBA forward Malik Fitts has found a new home in Europe with SIG Strasbourg of the LNB Élite. Despite not having appeared in an NBA game since 2022, the 27-year-old is eager to continue his playing career overseas.
Fitts, who was once a member of the Boston Celtics, made a memorable appearance in the 2022 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Although his role was limited, Fitts managed to win over fans in Boston with his entertaining antics and courtside celebrations.
The California native’s time in Boston was short-lived, as he was traded to the Indiana Pacers as part of a deal for guard Malcolm Brogdon. Unfortunately for Fitts, the Pacers waived him before he could even don their jersey.
Prior to his stint with the Celtics, Fitts also had brief stints with the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz. Despite only playing in 18 games during his NBA career, Fitts averaged 1.3 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.
As Fitts embarks on this new chapter in his basketball journey, fans and analysts alike are curious to see how he will fare in the competitive European league. Only time will tell if Fitts can make a name for himself on the international stage, but one thing is for sure – his unique blend of talent and charisma is sure to make waves in Strasbourg.
Stay tuned for more updates on Malik Fitts’ European adventure and how he adjusts to life across the pond. Exciting times await for this former NBA fan favorite as he looks to carve out a successful career overseas.
