After spending a little over a year chasing NBA dreams, former Tennessee Volunteer standout Yves Pons is headed back home to France. The explosive, shot-blocking wing has signed with LDLC ASVEL in the French Pro A League, per an Instagram post from Pons’ agency.
The team is one of the top organizations in the league, owned by former NBA guard Tony Parker.
Pons, who went undrafted after leaving Tennessee, signed with the Grizzlies as an undrafted free agent. He went through summer league with the team, and saw action in 12 games for the Grizzlies last season. This summer, Pons played in the summer league with the Brooklyn Nets.
