Guinean center arrives from the G League\u2019s Valley Suns, signing a two-year deal with the Basque club<\/p>\n

By Eurohoops team \/\u00a0info@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Baskonia has officially announced<\/a> the signing of Guinean big man Mamadi Diakite (1997, Conakry), who arrives in Vitoria-Gasteiz on a two-year contract, running through the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n

Standing at 2.06 meters, Diakite reinforces the interior rotation of the Basque side after spending last season with the Valley Suns<\/a> in the NBA G League.<\/p>\n

There, he posted averages of 13.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and a PIR of 19.9 across the regular season, underlining his versatility and consistency in the paint.<\/p>\n

The forward-center\u2019s career path began in the NCAA with the University of Virginia Cavaliers<\/a>, where he played a crucial role in their 2019 NCAA Championship run.<\/p>\n

He later transitioned to the NBA, making his debut with the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> and earning a championship ring during the 2020\u201321 season. Subsequent years saw him gain experience with various NBA and G League franchises, continuing to develop his skillset and physical presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-08-18T11:12:20+00:00 2025-08-18T11:12:20+00:00 2025-08-18T11:12:20+00:00.
