Muhammad last played for a team called the San Miguel Beermen in the Philippines last year. He hasn’t set foot on an NBA court since 2018. It is not a beer league squad, just as the Philippines Basketball Association is not the EuroLeague. In the quarterfinals, The Beermen were eliminated. Muhammad reportedly described himself after a workout as “humbled.” I have undoubtedly been humbled.
Truth or Rumours?
Ten years later, there are still no guarantees for the player whose destiny everyone believed was predetermined. He has been approached by the Sacramento Kings to work out with them in Vegas; they require a wing. He claims that the Mavericks have made some prelude. He hopes they can notice his dedication to taking care of his body (“He looks amazing,” comments Howland. He dramatically improved his posture, footwork, and offensive play. However, Muhammad feels that his biggest asset won’t be seen on the court. It is his narrative and his winding journey. He has learned how to be a better teammate through his experiences and the humility he has acquired through them. He has also learned the importance of being a good teammate.
He can mentor younger players just by being in the locker room. Let them witness how grateful he is for a second chance, as well as how hard he has worked and how far he has traveled to get back. They could realize what he didn’t understand all those years ago—that there is a difference between simply showing up and succeeding—and that there is no such thing as a sure thing.
Things changed since he left
Shabazz Muhammad, a former 2013 NBA lottery pick who is now 29 years old, is aiming to join the league again after playing four seasons overseas, according to Dana O’Neil of The Athletic. Muhammad claims that the Mavericks are interested in him and that he has worked out for the Kings.
Muhammad left UCLA with the No. 14 overall pick in 2013 and played with the Timberwolves for the duration of his NBA career. In the spring of 2018, after Minnesota released him, he quickly bonded with the Bucks. He has since worn the uniforms of two CBA teams, the Shenzhen Aviators and the Shanxi Brave Dragons. Muhammad had a brief appearance with the Grand Rapids Gold, the Nuggets’ NBAGL affiliate during the 2021/22 season.
