Montrezl Harrell leaves the NBA to play in Australia
The veteran center had declined in recent years and has decided to make a change in his career
NBA veteran Montrezl Harrell has reached an agreement with the Adelaide 36ers of the Australian League, as sources informed ESPN. Harrell, a 2.01-meter power forward and the 2020 Sixth Man of the Year, will temporarily replace Jarell Martin due to injury.
Montrezl Harrell has had a distinguished career in the NBA since his debut in 2015. Throughout his journey, he has played for teams like the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, and Philadelphia 76ers. In his standout season, 2019-2020, he won the Sixth Man of the Year award, averaging 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game with the Clippers. His offensive efficiency has been one of his strengths, shooting over 60% from the field in multiple seasons, making him one of the most effective interior players in the league.
Over his career, Harrell has maintained averages of 12.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. Although his role has shifted between a starter and a reserve, his energy and aggressiveness on both ends of the court have allowed him to be a key piece until he has clearly declined in recent years.
