Bahcesehir College Istanbul has made its first signing of the 2025-26 season by completing a one-year deal for Malachi Flynn, who has 223 games of experience in the NBA. He will play under Marko Barac, who was named as Bahcesehir's new head coach on Thursday.
Flynn (1.85 meters, 27 years old) played four times for the Charlotte Hornets last season, averaging 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He also suited up for the Austin Spurs in the G League in 2024-25, posting 22.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 26 appearances.
The American point guard, who was a first-round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, will play in Europe for the first time next season. He spent the first three and a half years of his career with the Toronto Raptors, the team which drafted him, before also playing for the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons in the 2023-24 campaign. Of Flynn's 223 NBA appearances, 181 came with the Raptors.
Thanks to his performances with Austin in the G League last season, Flynn was named to the All-NBA G League First Team. With the Raptors 905, Toronto's G League affiliate, he was selected to the All-NBA G League Second Team and NBA G League All-Rookie Team, both in 2020-21.
