Byron Mullens has signed a deal with Panionios of Greece during the NBA lockout.

Mullens will be reunited with former Ohio State teammates Jon Diebler and Zisis Sarikopoulos.

"Basically I was pretty much just waiting to hear about what's going on with the lockout and was talking to my agent about it," said Mullens. "And we decided to see if we could get a deal going overseas to play. I've been working out all summer. We thought it'd be best to just get a different feel. You can only get better to a certain point working out by yourself."
