A.J. Lawson Signs With Baskonia to Play in Spain's Liga ACB

The move gives the 26-year-old former NBA guard a clearer path to bigger minutes in Spain's top domestic competition.

Overview

  • Baskonia publicly confirmed Lawson's signing after Spanish reporter Chema de Lucas first reported the deal and Eurobasket published the agreement, with the club announcement appearing on July 27, 2026.
  • Lawson is a 26-year-old, 1.98m shooting guard who has played roughly 100–107 NBA games across four seasons with Minnesota, Dallas and Toronto.
  • He produced standout numbers in the 2025–26 G League season—about 20.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game—and was named to the All‑NBA G League Second Team.
  • Eurohoops reports the contract runs for two seasons and places Lawson on a Baskonia roster that includes several ex‑NBA players and that recently won Spain's Copa del Rey.
  • The move gives Lawson a chance for a larger role and European exposure that could boost his development and his standing for future club opportunities or national‑team selection.
