After signing a training camp deal with the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of September and then being waived just two weeks later, Dwayne Bacon is now taking his talents overseas. On Friday, Panathinaikos BC, a Greek basketball club, announced that they have signed Bacon to a two-year deal that will keep him under contract with the team through the 2023-24 season.
Bacon, 27, was originally drafted 40th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft out of Florida State by the New Orleans Pelicans. Beginning his career with the Charlotte Hornets during the 2017-18 season, Bacon spent three total seasons with Charlotte before joining the Orlando Magic ahead of the 2020-21 season.
