Raul Neto signs with Brisbane Bullets as other players draw overseas interest

Former NBA guard Raul Neto has signed with the Brisbane Bullets in Australia’s National Basketball League as an injury replacement.

Neto, 34, played 435 NBA regular-season games for four teams from 2015 to 2023.

He says he wants to compete at a high level while preparing to represent Brazil in an upcoming FIBA window.

Lonnie Walker IV is drawing interest from European teams after Denver cut him, with Turkish club Besiktas among those reportedly interested.

Walker has previously played in Europe and recently signed with an agent who represents players there.

Christian Koloko is believed to be a target for Spain’s Baskonia, which is looking for frontcourt help after losing Khalifa Diop and parting ways with Alex Len.

Koloko was waived by New Orleans and is no longer eligible for a two-way contract.

The London Lions also made history by becoming the first British basketball club to face an NBA team, but they lost 119-66 to Portland in an exhibition game.
