Hilliard has played in 91 NBA games, for two teams. The Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs. In his short career on the other side of the Atlantic, he averaged 3.2 points and 0.8 assists per game. Last year, Hilliard played in the G-League for the Austin Spurs and had an impressive outing, as he posted 20.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest.

Baskonia was searching for a reliable guard, had been in talks with James Nunnally, but eventually signed Darrun Hilliard for the 2018-2019 season.
