Tosan Evbuomwan signs free agent contract with Detroit Pistons

Tosan Evbuomwan has reportedly signed a free agent contract with the Detroit Pistons, according to HoopsHype’s Mike Scotto.

Despite not hearing his name called at the NBA Draft on Thursday night, the NBA dream remains alive, as the contract gives him an opportunity to see NBA minutes.

His journey to make the NBA roster will likely begin at the the NBA 2K24 Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 7.

After first attending the NBA G League Elite Camp inside Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois from May 13 until May 14, Evbuomwan extended his stay in the Windy City when he was one of eight NBA Combine invitees from the G League Elite Camp.

From there, he he has gone on to workout for 18 NBA teams.

It’s the culmination of an impressive season at Princeton for Evbuomwan, who led them on a magical March Madness run to the Sweet 16 while accumulating a list of individual accolades.

He was named National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 13 First Team, Ivy League Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Ivy Madness All-Tournament Team, Unanimous Ivy League First Team, Academic All-Ivy League, College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District and London Basketball Classic MVP.

In addition, Evbuomwan’s 161 assists in 2022-23 tied the program record for most assists in a season, and his 323 career assists rank No. 6 on the Tigers’ all-time list for assists. Evbuomwan also joined the 1,000-point club in 2022-23, and his 1,033 points rank No. 34 all-time in school history.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
