Nigel Hayes-Davis It will be truly confronted for the first time with the NBA after dominating the last seasons of Euroleague, a competition won by MVP of the Final Four in the season just ended. The American, who spent a 4-year-old boy from Wisconsin in NCAA, not being chosen at the NBA Draft, has only 9 games in the 2017-18 season, among other things with 3 different teams: Lakers, Raptors and Kings. Then many experiences in Europe: Galatasaray, Zalgiris Kaunas, Barcelona and finally Fenerbahçe.
With the Turkish club shirt, Hayes-Davis recorded during the 2023-24 season the Points record in a single Euroleague match: 50. Also with Fener he conquered the title of Euroleague top scorer in 2024 and 2025 and was included in both seasons in the best quintet of the competition, also winning two Turkish championships (in 2024 by MVP of the Finals) and twice the Turkey Cup (from MVP in 2025).
Now he has decided to sign An annual contract with the Phoenix Sunsgrappling with a serious roster revolution after missing the playoffs in the last season. The Suns have sold Kevin Durant and would like to do the same with Bradley Beal, who, however, has one no-trade clause And it can veto on a possible sale.
Hayes-Davis is only the latest Euroleague star to move to NBA, in recent years the examples of Vasilije Micic and Sasha Vezenkov can be mentioned. The wish for the American is to have greater luck than its colleagues.
