Man that’s awesome for him, glad he made it back

How was he doing overseas? I get the NBA is everyone's dream but it really seems like NBA teams are super hesitant to sign someone who plays his style of ball

here's his international stats. stops in Japan, China and Spain

before tonight hadn't played in the NBA since 2020-21. most recently with the Pacers G-League. signed a 10-day. that is a long road back

Not sure if you know about this but Jah tore his Achilles a couple of years ago and worked back from that to get a deal in Europe a year or two ago which led to the deal with the Pacers G League team this year. He's really worked for this and I'm so happy he made it back

yeah a lot of setbacks for a lot of reasons. required remarkable effort and caring
