NBA rumors: Ex-Warrior Monta Ellis holding workout, seeking comeback

Share

Former Warriors guard Monta Ellis hasn't played in the NBA since the 2016-17 season.

But that doesn't mean his NBA career is over.

Monta is holding a private workout in Las Vegas next week, a source told ESPN's Jordan Schultz.

In July 2017, the Pacers elected to use the "stretch provision" on the remaining $11.2 million on Monta's contract. As a result, he made about $2.25 million the past two seasons and is scheduled to make that much for each of the next three.

The 33-year-old averaged 8.5 points and 3.2 assists per game for Indiana during the 2016-17 campaign.

He entered the league as the No. 40 overall pick in the 2005 draft and averaged a career-high 25.5 points per game for the Dubs in 2009-10.

Golden State traded Monta to Milwaukee in March 2012 in a deal that brought back Andrew Bogut.

No, the Warriors will not be signing him this summer.

Have a great Fourth of July.
