After the short NBA stint with the Denver Nuggets on a two-way contract in the 2020-21 season, Greg Whittington has returned to Europe and his chosen destination is Lokomotiv Kuban.
“We got a versatile forward – he is dangerous from the perimeter and acts very well in the paint. He is an aggressive, powerful player. He has a quick first step, makes good use of his athletic ability, loves dynamic basketball with a quick transition from defense to attack, which meets our standards,” coach Evgeny Pashutin said.
Per Lokomotiv Kuban:
