Elie Okobo is expected to sign a contract with AS Monaco of France's top league, according to BasketNews' Domantas Urbonas.
Okobo, who was a second-round pick of the Suns in 2018, played for ASVEL in France's top league this past season. He was also the subject of interest from teams such as Barcelona, Fenerbahce, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Virtus Bologna, but Okobo has reportedly decided to sign with Monaco. However, that could change if an NBA team expresses interest in signing Okobo this summer.
Former Phoenix Suns guard Elie Okobo has signed a deal with the French squad, ASVEL, according to the teams' Twitter page.
Okobo played just two NBA seasons with the Suns before a brief stint with the Brooklyn Nets' G-League affiliate this season. In 13 games in the G-League bubble with the Long Island Nets, Okobo averaged eight points and five assists. He will now head back to Europe, where his career began before being selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
The Nets have waived Elie Okobo and Paul Eboua.
Okobo signed a contract with Brooklyn back in November, but then he left the team for a personal issue and didn't play at all during the preseason. The Nets have too many guards anyway, so he had to go.
Elie Okobo has yet to join his new Nets teammates and will not be available for Friday's exhibition against the Celtics.
Okobo and the Nets came to terms on a deal in late-November, but he has still yet to join the team. Even if he were with Brooklyn from the first day of training camp, Okobo was not going to offer up much in the way of fantasy value.
