Tosan Evbuomwan Signs Two-Year Deal With FC Barcelona

The move follows his G League Finals MVP and gives the 25-year-old his first professional contract outside the United States.

Overview

  • Barcelona announced a two-year contract for Tosan Evbuomwan on July 27, marking his first season playing professionally outside the U.S.
  • Evbuomwan became a free agent earlier this month after the Charlotte Hornets waived him following a two-way deal that produced no NBA game appearances.
  • He earned high visibility by leading the Greensboro Swarm to the NBA G League title in April and winning Finals MVP after a 22-point, seven-rebound clinching game.
  • Barcelona also added NBA-experienced guards Tyrese Martin and Stanley Umude during the same signing period, reflecting the club's pattern of recruiting U.S. players with NBA and G League experience.
  • For Evbuomwan, the move offers a stable multi-year contract and a chance for consistent minutes at EuroLeague and Liga ACB level, and it highlights how strong G League performances can open European career paths for fringe NBA players.
