Rowdy just can't catch a break.  Here's hoping that he gets picked up by a team that actually plays him.

According to Wikipedia, Rowdy has signed with AEK Athens in the Greek Basketball League:

Good luck to him. Enjoyed watching him play in what few minutes they gave him. Hope to see him play for Australia in the next olympics.

Now I go back to no reason to watch nba games.

I hope he gets (and believe that he will get) another NBA opportunity sometime.

Darn Peters and Broekhoff as teammates would have been every Valpo fan's dream... I would have definitely had to figure out how to watch CSKA games if that had happened. I wonder if maybe he got or is pursuing an NBA contract. Maybe he's in talks with an unknown team at this time.

Peters is in Turkey at Anadolu Efes, which is another top EuroLeague team.

Though I want to see Rowdy back in the NBA, wouldn't this be cool (Peters and Rowdy on the same team)??

Also the below, specific to the Mavs.  We have a few injuries:

Would love a Broekhoff return to Dallas and a trade for a third star would be awesome. It might help give Rowdy a chance to contend for championships!

Australia's coach also coaches the 76ers? And an Australian teammate besides? Could be a thing!

Congrats to Rowdy!  I hope that he proves my Mavs wrong, and goes on to have a good NBA career!

Problem long term there is how long Brett Brown remains as the Sixers coach.

Picked this up from the Sixers website:

Ryan Broekhoff's wife has an auto-immune disease and the couple has a one-year-old son, but the veteran sharpshooter ultimately decided to join the Sixers for the NBA's restart, writes Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

"We spoke to Elton (Brand, Sixers GM) and Brown (Sixers head coach) and just wanted to get some more information of how the bubble would be down in Orlando, and if anything happens at home, what are my options to get back and take care of my family," Broekhoff said. ".....I think the opportunity in the end was too hard to pass up."

Another setback for Rowdy. Wishing the best for him and his family!

Sorry to hear. Hopefully his family gets through this safe and healthy.

I'm sorry to hear that and wish him his wife and his family the best at this time but I am totally not surprised that he chose to do this. This is exactly the kind of man he is and I salute him. Family first. Team first. Everything before self. That's Rowdy to a T.
