The London Lions have added more star power to their roster by signing David Nwaba on a deal until the end of the season. Nwaba (1.96 meters, 30 years old) has spent the last two years playing for the Motor City Cruise in the G League, averaging 9.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks in 12 games this season, but he previously spent six years in the NBA. He joins a London side hoping to go all the way in the BKT EuroCup, a competition he has never played in before.
Another ex-NBA player for the London Lions
Nwaba is the latest player with NBA experience to sign for London, following in the footsteps of Sam Dekker, Donte Grantham, and Kosta Koufos, who suited up for the Lions last season. Across 237 games in the NBA, Nwaba's averages stand at 6.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist per contest.
He made his debut in the league with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2016-17 campaign, before going on to play for the Chicago Bulls (2017-18), the Cleveland Cavaliers (2018-19), the Brooklyn Nets (2019-20) and the Houston Rockets (2020-22). For a few months, Nwaba was a teammate of Dekker on Cleveland's roster.
