Vancouver Bandits bring some more experience to the team with today’s signing of Mychal Mulder.
The Langley-based pro basketball club has signed the NBA-experienced guard and former Golden State Warriors starting guard for the 2026 Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) season.
A 6-foot-3 guard from Windsor, Ont., Mulder appeared in 84 NBA games between 2019 and 2022 for the Golden State Warriors, Orlando Magic, and Miami Heat.
His breakout season in 2020-21 saw him appear in 60 games for the Warriors, where he averaged 5.6 points, 1.0 rebounds, 0.4 assists in 12.8 minutes, including six starts alongside the likes of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins.
“I am excited to be in Vancouver to play with the Bandits and work with coach Kyle Julius this summer. Playing in a Canadian league is a first for me, and it is an opportunity that I take pride in,” said Mulder.
“We are going to have a really good group and a very competitive season; Bandits fans, get ready.”
Mulder most recently played for the Washington Wizards’ NBA G League affiliate, Capital City Go-Go, during the 2023-24 season, where he appeared in 27 games and averaged 5.2 points, 1.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists in 17.3 minutes per game.
A product of the University of Kentucky, Mulder played two seasons of NCAA DI basketball from 2015 to 2017. He averaged 4.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists in 10.6 minutes through 32 contests for a Wildcats squad that advanced to the Elite Eight at the 2017 NCAA March Madness tournament, cited head coach and general manager Kyle Julius.
“Mychal is an elite Canadian player, who has built a career as accomplished as any player to play in our league. He will provide big time experience and leadership to our group,” said Julius.
“He has played with the best players in the world and it is going to be awesome to have him enhance our culture and push our group towards a championship.”
Internationally, Mulder has represented Canada at the senior level on two occasions at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers and the 2021 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Mulder joins reigning CEBL Canadian Player of the Year Tyrese Samuel as players who have signed with the Bandits for the upcoming 2026 season.
The Bandits open the 2026 CEBL season on Thursday, May 14, on the road in Saskatoon before coming back to Langley for its home opener against the Edmonton Stingers on Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m. at Langley Events Centre.
