International Basketball Wiretap

NBA veteran forward Jae Crowder is returning to the court in Puerto Rico. Crowder has signed with Vaqueros de Bayamon in Puerto Rico. The Baloncesto Superior Nacional, Puerto Rico's top basketball league, is tipping off their season soon.

Crowder has been an NBA free agent all season. He finished last season as a member of the Sacramento Kings, after signing with them in late-November of 2024.

The NBA veteran will be joined on the Vaqueros by Xavier Cooks and Jaylin Galloway. Both Cooks and Galloway will join the team after their season with the Sydney Kings in Australia's NBL ends. The NBL is currently holding their championship series.

Like Crowder, Cooks and Galloway have NBA experience as well. Cooks spent part of the 2022-23 season with the Washington Wizards. Galloway finished the 2023-24 season on a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Serbian club Crvena zvezda has signed wing Nikola Djurisic. This is a homecoming for Djurisic, who previously played for Serbian side KK Mega Bemax before coming to the NBA.

Djurisic spent the last two seasons in the Atlanta Hawks organization. He appeared in 54 G League games with the College Park Skyhawks. The Hawks had signed Djurisic to a multi-year contract this past offseason, but he did not appear in an NBA game before being waived in mid-February.

In the G League, the 6-foot-8 wing averaged 9.8 point, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. The 22-year old Djurisic will now look to get his career back on track with Crvena zvezda, who is battling for a spot in the EuroLeague Playoffs.
