Cam Reddish has been considering overseas options following six years in the NBA and is closing in on Lithuania, specifically a move to Siauliai.
The news was reported by BasketNews on Wednesday, with a note about an exit clause on his contract, which can be used to possibly bounce back in the league based in North America or move his talents to a higher level in Europe during the 2025-26 season.
Coming out of Duke in 2019, he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the tenth overall pick. Over the next six years, he played in the NBA, switching to the New York Knicks midway through the 2021-22 season, the Portland Trail Blazers midway through the 2022-23 season, and the Los Angeles Lakers before the 2023-24 season. Overall, he appeared in 258 games.
In the 2024-25 journey with the Lakers, the 26-year-old winger tallied 3.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.7 assists, and 0.3 blocks per contest over 33 games, including eight starts for the team coached by JJ Redick, before being waived in late March.
Possibly completing a jump to Lithuania’s Betsafe LKL, the Pennsylvania native would meet Darius Songaila, a former player and coach in the NBA, at the helm of Siauliai.
Back in 2017, before his senior high school season, Reddish represented the United States, capturing a bronze medal in the FIBA U19 World Cup. In his introduction to FIBA rules, he averaged 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
