Free agent point guard Chris Chiozza<\/a> has signed with Kar\u015f\u0131yaka Basket for the 2025\/26 season, the Turkish team announced (Instagram link<\/a>; hat tip to Sportando<\/a>).<\/p>\n

After going undrafted out of Florida in 2018, Chiozza spent his first four professional seasons bouncing between the NBA and the G League, mostly on two-way contracts. He appeared in 91 regular season contests with the Rockets, Wizards, Nets and Warriors, last suiting up for Golden State during the \u201921\/22 campaign.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has spent the past three seasons overseas in Spain and Turkey. He played for Manisa Basket last season, which \u2014 like Kar\u015f\u0131yaka \u2014 competes in Turkey\u2019s Basketball Super League.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more international notes:<\/p>\n

Ex-NBA big man Devontae Cacok<\/a> has officially signed a one-year deal with Spanish club UCAM Murcia, as Emiliano Carchia of Sportando<\/a> relays. Cacok played parts of three NBA seasons with the Lakers and Spurs from 2019-22. He played in Russia during the \u201922\/23 season and spent the past two seasons with Virtus Bologna. The Italian team released<\/a> Cacok in November due to a knee injury, but evidently he is fully recovered now.
\nSpeaking of Virtus Bologna, the EuroLeague club is reportedly interested in Kenneth Faried, according to Carchia<\/a>, who cites a report from La Prealpina. The 6\u20198\u2033 power forward averaged 11.4 points and 8.1 rebounds over eight NBA seasons but has been out of the league since \u201918\/19. Faried, 35, has played in the NBAGL, China, Russia, Italy and Puerto Rico over the past several years.
\nPallacanestro Cant\u00f9, which was promoted<\/a> to Italy\u2019s top domestic league (Serie A) in June following a four-year hiatus, has expressed interest in Patrick McCaw<\/a>, according to Italian outlet La Provincia<\/a> (hat tip to Carchia<\/a>). The former second-round pick won three titles with the Warriors and Raptors during his five years in the NBA, last suiting up for Toronto in \u201920\/21. Known for his defense, McCaw has spent most of the past four years in the G League with the Delaware Blue Coats, Philadelphia\u2019s affiliate.<\/p>\n
