Dekker, the No. 18 overall pick of 2015, began his career with the Houston Rockets. He also played with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Wizards before moving to Europe in 2019.
In 2020, Dekker joined Basketball Champions League club Turk Telekom and then briefly returned to the NBA with the Toronto Raptors.
