Rotoworld Player News

Tacko Fall

NBA Center #99

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

According to the Philadelphia 76ers official X.com page, the team has signed Tacko Fall, Saint Thomas and Jameer Nelson Jr.

Fall last played in the NBA in 2022, but he’ll get another shot after playing professionally in China. Fall could make an impact as a backup big man if he sees the court, but he’ll compete with Adem Bona and Ariel Hukporti for minutes behind the oft-injured Joel Embiid. Thomas and Nelson Jr. are unlikely to see many minutes this season, barring multiple injuries up the depth chart.
Eric Paschall

NBA Power Forward #9

Eric Paschall signed with Japan’s Bambitious Nara.

Paschall has spent time in Puerto Rico, Italy and China since he last played in the NBA in 2022. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 14.0 points per game for the Warriors as a rookie and 9.5 points per game as a sophomore, but after spending his third season in Utah, he wasn’t able to find a new team to suit up for. His career will continue to take him around the world, though a return to the NBA seems unlikely at this point.
Russell Westbrook

NBA Guard #18

Russell Westbrook has announced his retirement from basketball.

Despite multiple rumors of where Westbrook may play basketball next season, the former MVP has decided to call it a career. Drafted in 2008, Russ was the first draft pick Thunder history after they made the move from Seattle. He spent the first 11 years of his career with OKC, which included his MVP season and an NBA Finals appearance. Westbrook bounced around after that, playing for six teams in seven seasons, including the Rockets, Wizards, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets and Kings. After 18 years in the NBA, Westbrook should be a lock for the Hall of Fame.
Billy Donovan

NBA Head Coach

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Billy Donovan is “exiting” as head coach of the Bulls.

Chicago wanted to retain Donovan, but after “extensive meetings with team ownership”, Donovan opted to depart. The Bulls will need to fill a lot of holes in their staff this offseason after they fired executive VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley earlier this month. Donovan went 226-256 as the head coach of Chicago for six seasons, which included one playoff appearance. He’ll likely have interest from other NBA teams, though he won multiple NCAA championships with Florida before making the leap to the pros and could certainly return to the college ranks.
Doc Rivers

NBA Head Coach

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Bucks have fired Doc Rivers.

Rivers took over as the Bucks’ head coach in early 2024, replacing Adrian Griffin, who had Milwaukee at 30-13 at the time. Since then, Rivers led them to a 97-103 record, which included two first-round exits. Now, they’ve missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Rivers speculated that this would be the case in recent interviews, and it doesn’t seem like he’s ready to take over a different team. The Bucks will begin the search for a new head coach.
Tony Snell

NBA Small Forward #21

Tony Snell has signed a contract to play next season in France.

Snell will join Boulazac Basket Dordogne after last appearing in an NBA game in 2022 for the Pelicans. Snell has tried to find a landing spot in the NBA in recent years and joined Miami’s G League affiliate in Sioux Falls ahead of last season. Now, he’ll keep his career going overseas.
John Wall

NBA Point Guard #11

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports John Wall has officially retired from the NBA.

Wall, who last suited up during the 2022-23 season for the Clippers, has officially called it a career. The first overall pick in 2010, Wall had an excellent run with the Wizards for most of the decade before short stints in Houston and Los Angeles. The five-time All-Star made the All-NBA third team during the 2016-17 season and averaged 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his career.
Marco Belinelli

NBA Shooting Guard #18

Marco Belinelli announced his retirement from professional basketball on Monday.

Belinelli, the 18th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, spent the last five seasons playing for Virtus Bologna in his native Italy. He played for nine different teams during his NBA career, including four with the Spurs, and was part of San Antonio’s 2014 NBA champion squad. As an NBA player, Belinelli averaged 9.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 three-pointers per game, shooting 37.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Alex Ducas

NBA Small Forward #88

Alex Ducas is planning to sign with the Brisbane Bullets.

Ducas appeared in 21 games on a two-way deal with the Thunder last season after going undrafted. It’s only a one-year deal with Brisbane, so he could make a return to the NBA after that.
Mike Brown

NBA Head Coach

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Mike Brown will have a second meeting with the Knicks and has emerged as a “strong candidate” for their head coaching vacancy.

Brown is the first candidate to have a second interview scheduled with the Knicks as New York’s exhaustive search for a new coach approaches a conclusion. The 55-year-old Brown last coached the Sacramento Kings, but was fired in his third season with the club after a 13-18 start to the season that included a five-game losing streak. He also previously coached the Cavaliers and the Lakers. The Knicks are still the only NBA team without a head coach.
