Tosan Evbuomwan Signs With Barcelona

Tosan Evbuomwan, who spent time with four NBA teams over the past three seasons, has signed a two-year contract with Barcelona, the Spanish club announced in a press release.

This will be the first overseas experience for the 25-year-old forward, who made five brief appearances with the Knicks last season on a two-way contract. After New York released him on January 7, he signed a two-way deal with Charlotte a month later but didn’t see any game action at the NBA level.

Evbuomwan became a free agent earlier this month when the Hornets waived him. His contract covered two seasons, but the team opted to go in a different direction with its two-way deals.

The 6’8″ forward began his NBA career during the 2023/24 season by playing four games for Memphis and 13 games with Detroit. He also saw action in 28 games with Brooklyn during 2024/25.

Evbuomwan had a major role in helping the Hornets’ G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, capture the championship in April. He was named Most Valuable Player of the finals after posting 22 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and a pair of steals in the clinching game.

NBA veterans Tyrese Martin and Stanley Umude also signed with Barcelona this month.
