Spirou Basket Signs Kyle Weaver
By Rafael Uehara & Tikot de Roa
Spirou Basket officially announced today, April the 20th, the signing of swingman Kyle Weaver for the remainder of the season.
Weaver, who played his college ball at Washington State University and was drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats in 2008, logged 68 games in the NBA between the 2008-2009 and the 2009-2010 seasons for the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging about 19 minutes-per-game.
Weaver was offered a contract by Maccabi Tel-Aviv last summer but turned it down in order to remain in the United States. It didn’t pan out as Weaver spent the entire season in the NBA’s Developmental League, defending the Iowa Energy and the Austin Toros. He was called up late, by the Utah Jazz on March the 30th, and appeared in five games, averaging 13.8 minutes-per-game, 5.6 points-per-game on 36% shooting and two rebounds-a-game. In the D-League, Weaver averaged 15.6 points-per-game and 5.6 rebounds-per-game over 37 appearances.
Spirou Basket currently leads the Ethias League, with its 22-4 record.
