ASVEL Reportedly Close to Signing Riley Minix
If confirmed, the move would send the 25-year-old frontcourt shooter from the NBA/G League to his first European club and likely increase his role on a EuroLeague roster.
Overview
- Multiple outlets have reported that LDLC ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne is near an agreement to sign American forward Riley Minix, with the claim traced to Meridian Sport and carried by Eurohoops and Eurobasket.
- The reports are unconfirmed by ASVEL and Minix, and no contract length, salary details, or official announcement have been released.
- Minix spent the last seasons inside the NBA system with the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers organizations, getting most of his minutes in the G League where he averaged strong scoring and efficiency.
- He played sparingly in the NBA (a handful of appearances) but posted standout numbers in the G League, which fits a common path for young American players moving to Europe for bigger roles.
- A completed signing would give ASVEL a versatile, shooting-capable frontcourt option for the EuroLeague and Pro A, and watchers should expect official club confirmation and contract terms to follow before the move is final.
