Former NBA forward Stanley Johnson has agreed to a contract with Anadolu Efes, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports (Twitter link).

As Scotto observes, the Turkish club has won two of the last four EuroLeague championships, with former NBA players like Shane Larkin, Daniel Oturu, Vincent Poirier and Ante Zizic among the key contributors across that stretch.

Johnson spent last season in the G League with the Stockton Kings after having been in the NBA for the previous eight years. In 34 G League games in 2023/24, Johnson averaged 14.4 points per game and shot 39.5% from deep. Now, he’s heading overseas for the first time in his career.

The No. 8 overall pick in 2015, Johnson spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career with the Pistons. He bounced around the league after that, going through stints with the Pelicans, Raptors, Lakers and Spurs. In 449 career games (104 starts), the 28-year-old Johnson holds career averages of 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds.
