Killian Hayes has drawn considerable interest from several top-tier EuroLeague teams eager to bring him overseas. However, the 24-year-old guard remains steadfast in his goal of making a full return to the NBA.
Rather than entertaining those international offers, Hayes has stayed committed to earning a spot in an NBA training camp and re-establishing himself at the highest level of the game.
During the 2023–24 season, Hayes spent the bulk of his time with the Long Island Nets in the NBA G League, where he played a central role as a primary playmaker.
In late February, his performance earned him a brief stint back in the NBA via a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
Across six appearances with Brooklyn, he posted solid numbers – averaging 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 27.1 minutes per contest.
In the G League, the 6-foot-5 Frenchman showcased notable improvements, particularly in his shooting efficiency – an area that had been a focus for him in recent years.
He averaged 16.7 points per game while shooting 46% from the field, and he connected on 37.1% of his three-point attempts, taking five shots from deep per night.
Beyond scoring, Hayes contributed across the board with 7.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game over 34 appearances, underlining his versatility on both ends of the floor.
