EA7 Emporio Armani Milan has strengthened its EuroLeague roster with the acquisition of NBA veteran Rodney McGruder, securing his services until the culmination of the 2023-24 season.
The seasoned player, having spent seven years in the NBA, is set to make his EuroLeague debut, adding a wealth of experience to Milan’s lineup. McGruder’s most recent NBA stint was with the Detroit Pistons, where he averaged 5.7 points and 2.3 rebounds during the 2022-23 season.
McGruder, with a notable NBA career playing for the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Detroit Pistons, brings a wealth of experience to Milan. With 317 regular-season games and nine playoff appearances under his belt, the 32-year-old forward is poised to make a seamless transition to EuroLeague competition.
While this marks McGruder’s EuroLeague debut, he previously played in Europe during the 2013-14 season, representing Hungarian side Atomeromu SE after his collegiate career at Kansas State University.
Currently positioned in 12th place in the EuroLeague standings with a record of 9 wins and 11 losses, Milan aims to leverage McGruder’s skills and experience to make a strong push in the second half of the season, solidifying their aspirations for success in the EuroLeague.
