Sergio Llull has been named Euroleague MVP for the month of November.

Llull led Real Madrid to a 4-1 record in the month.

Llull finished the month sitting third in the full-season rankings for EuroLeague scorers, with 19.4 points per game and tied for sixth in assists, at 5.8 per game.

Josh Smith has signed a three-month, $1.5 million deal in China with the Sichuan Whales.

Smith split parts of last season with the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets.

In an interview with Shams Charania in late September, Smith talked about wanting to remain in the NBA and that he was prepared to make changes to do so.

Smith could return to the NBA at the end of the season following his stint in China as many former NBA players have done.
