AEK BC signs former NBA player Derrick Williams
AEK BC has announced the signing of 35-year-old American power forward Derrick Williams to a two-year contract, which will keep him with the club until the summer of 2028. The move aims to bolster the team's frontline and fill the vacancy left by Raquan Gray, who departed for PAOK.
Williams, a former No. 2 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, brings significant experience to the Greek league, having previously played for Panathinaikos during the 2022-23 season. His professional career includes stints with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, and several European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Fenerbahçe. To finalize the deal, AEK reportedly paid a $100,000 buyout.
