Mamadi Diakite: Breaking News

Agrees to deal with Baskonia

Diakite agreed to a multi-year contract with Baskonia on Monday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Diakite hasn't seen the NBA floor since the 2023-24 season, and he's now headed overseas to continue his playing career. The 28-year-old big man spent last year with the G League's Valley Suns, closing with averages of 13.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 blocks, 0.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes while shooting 55.0 percent from the field across 44 appearances, including the playoffs.

Waived by Phoenix

The Suns waived Diakite on Monday, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports. The Suns also waived Moses Wood, bringing their roster down to 18 players. Diakite was previously on an Exhibit 10 deal and could end up with the Valley Suns in the G League.

Signs Exhibit 10 pact

The Suns signed Diakite to an Exhibit 10 contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. The Suns' G League affiliate, the Valley Suns, recently acquired the returning player rights to Diakite, and he will likely compete for a two-way spot with the Suns on a non-guaranteed training camp deal. The 27-year-old has spent four seasons bouncing around the league on two-way contracts, during which he has averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 9.2 minutes in 55 total regular-season appearances. Diakite will reunite with coach Mike Budenholzer, his coach while he was on the 2021 Bucks championship roster on a two-way deal.
