The Brooklyn Nets have hired Pablo Prigioni as an assistant coach on Kenny Atkinson’s staff.

Prigioni joins the Nets following a professional playing career which spanned 20-plus years in Argentina, Spain and the NBA.

A native of Argentina, Prigioni spent the majority of his career playing in Spain, where he led Baskonia to three Spanish King’s Cup titles, four Spanish Supercup titles and a Spanish League championship. In 2012, Prigioni became the NBA’s oldest rookie, when at age 35, he embarked on a four-year NBA stint which included stops with the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. As a member of the Argentinian national team, Prigioni won a bronze medal in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and finished fourth in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
