Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has announced the signing of Skylar Mays on a deal through the end of the 2024-25 season.
With Fenerbahce's Scottie Wilbekin likely out for the season with a torn ACL, which occurred in the team's Round 1 win against Olympiacos Piraeus, Mays offers Coach Saras Jasikevicius another option in the backcourt.
Mays's arrival at Fenerbahce represents his first experience in Europe with the 27-year-old having played 114 games in the NBA over the last four seasons.
In the 2023-24 campaign, Mays split time between the Portland TrailBlazers and Los Angeles Lakers. As a Blazer, he averaged 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 17.0 minutes per night across 21 appearances, while he featured in 17 games as a Laker, posting 1.3 points in 4:30 minutes per contest.
For his NBA career, Mays has averaged 4.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in just over 10:30 minutes on the floor in 105 regular-season games. He has appeared in nine playoff games, too, averaging 1.1 points in just under three minutes per night.
Following four years at Louisiana State University between 2016 and 2020, he played for the Atlanta Hawks (2020-22), Portland (2022-24) and the Lakers (2023-24), as well as the College Park Skyhawks (2021-22), Delaware Blue Coats (2022-23), Mexico City Capitanes (2022-23) and South Bay Lakers (2023-24) in the G League.
