While most of the basketball focus this summer will be on NBA free agency and the Paris Olympics, this is also a busy transaction period for other professional leagues. There is a lot of high-level basketball talent outside of the NBA, as many international professional leagues sign former NBA players.
In a recent post on X from seven-time European Champions Panathinaikos BC (h/t HoopsHype), it was revealed that former Chicago Bulls guard Jerian Grant had signed a contract with the team for this upcoming season.
"I really feel like I’ve found a home here, with these fans, coaches and teammates," Grant said, per the team.

Grant last played in the NBA during the 2019-20 season, appearing in six games for the Wizards. Prior to his time in the NBA, Grant starred for Notre Dame where he played five seasons, averaging 14.5 points per game.
Still just 31 years old, Grant should have multiple years of basketball left in him, with the next set to come with Panathinaikos BC.
