Former NBA guard Jeff Dowtin Jr.<\/a> has signed with Italy\u2019s Napoli Basket, the team announced in a press release<\/a>. Dowtin appeared in 87 NBA games, mostly recently a 41-game stint with Philadelphia during the 2024\/25 season. He played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel\u2019s top league last season, averaging 9.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in the Winner League and 8.1 points and 2.4 assists over 19 EuroLeague games.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more from around the international basketball world:<\/p>\n

Former NBA forward Cedi Osman<\/a> has officially signed a three-year deal with Greece\u2019s PAOK, according to Eurohoops.net<\/a>. Osman agreed to join his new team after Panathinaikos accepted<\/a> a buyout offer. The 31-year-old averaged 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 27.4 minutes per game across 33 outings last season, his second with Panathinaikos. His shooting line was a solid .469\/.377\/.826.
\nThere\u2019s been plenty of discussion<\/a> how the second apron restrictions have impacted the league\u2019s decision-makers. Teams are so focused on avoiding those restrictions that everyone in the league now projects to be below that threshold for the upcoming season, cap expert Yossi Gozlan tweets<\/a>. The last team to get under the second apron was the Thunder, who accomplished that by trading<\/a> Luguentz Dort<\/a> to Atlanta over the weekend.
\nCameron Boozer<\/a>, Caleb Wilson<\/a> and Darryn Peterson<\/a> were some of the lottery picks who delivered during the Vegas Summer League, Ben Golliver of ESPN<\/a> writes. It didn\u2019t go as smoothly for ex-Michigan star Aday Mara<\/a>, who struggled during his appearances. Golliver looks back at all the individual standouts and duds during this month\u2019s games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Dana Gauruder | at July 20, 2026 2:49 pm Former NBA guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. has signed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[223994,49,201068,1716,48,285869,17316,285870,459,82],"class_list":["post-814977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-aday-mara","tag-ca","tag-caleb-wilson","tag-cameron-boozer","tag-canada","tag-cedi-osman","tag-darryn-peterson","tag-jeff-dowtin","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
