According to Italian businessman Valerio Antonini, Sykes succeeded in winning a bid from the NBA team.
Antonini, president of Trapani Shark in Italy's second division, said, "For the keeper Sykes, we offered a two-season contract that costs 350,000 euros (about 500 million won) per season, but he accepted a bid for the United States and will stay in the NBA."
Sykes, who was nominated by Anyang KGC as the second-ranked player in the second round of the 2016 KBL Foreign Player Draft, is the most impressive player in the Korean league among short players.
In the 2016-17 Season, Sykes averaged 15.1 points, 3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.4 steal fielding success rate of 57.2%, playing 24 minutes and 22 seconds per game. Sykes, who led the KGC to its first championship, was loved by domestic fans by showing dunks several times based on its explosive athletic ability.
Sykes, who later left the Korean league, wandered around various leagues such as China, Turkey, and Italy, and joined the Indiana Pacers in the 21-22 season to take the NBA stage. It was a dream place, but Sykes, who was notified of his release after one season, continued his NBA challenge at the G-League Motor City Cruise in the 22-23 season.
Sykes, who played 29 games in the G League, played 31.9 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 42.9% (13.8 attempts), and 82% (1.7 attempts) of free throws. Sykes, in particular, broke his career high with 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in a match against Fort Wayne Mad Antsgan in March.
Meanwhile, it is not yet known which team Sykes signed with, but what is clear is that he will continue his basketball career on American soil. 온라인카지노
