According to sources Frank Jackson is accepting a lucrative offer in China that will be officially announced in the coming days.
The NBA vet was recruited to ASVEL by TJ Parker in an effort to upgrade their backcourt athleticism but Parker’s early season dismissal and the uncertainty of what would follow allowed for the opportunity to consider other options.
Jackson averaged 10.3 ppg in 20 minutes a game in the Euroleague shooting 75 percent from 2 PT and 32 percent from 3 PT.
Olimpia Milano in great crisis and looking for solutions to save a season that started badly. According to Sportando, Langston Galloway is also on Ettore Messina’s notebook.
The 1991 class from Baton Rouge started his experience in Reggio Emilia in a great way, with an average of 16.7 points, three games over 20 points in the last four.
A highly experienced shooting guard, could Galloway really be a solution for Olimpia Milano? The player has a contract with Reggiana until the end of the season, the club sportingly run by GM Claudio Coldebella has an important multi-year project with a former EuroLeague coach like Dimitris Priftis at the helm and as of today the player is not transferable.
In the next few hours, will the negotiation come to a head or will Olimpia Milano only stay on the play market?

Ettore Messina released a statement about his words on Shabazz Napier reported by Italian media today. Napier criticized the coach.
“Regarding a statement attributed to me this morning by an Italian newspaper and then taken up by numerous websites, I would like to point out that, speaking about Shabazz Napier in front of some journalists and the reasons for his departure from Milan , I have never said or hypothesized that the player has expressed to anyone his desire to return to Olimpia. It was purely a journalist’s interpretation. I have the utmost respect for Napier, for Red Star and as a principle we never talk about players from other teams.”
ToShabazz Napier criticized Olimpia Milano head coach Ettore Messina on Instagram after the words reported by Italian press.
”Ok, I very it. Your team didn’t start the way you would like and neither have I but just stop using me as the reason. I’m dealing with my own difficulties at the moment as a player but I’m happy with Red Star and I will be better for them. Two statements about a player that’s no longer a part of the team just let it go.
Stop lying to your fans to fix your trouble ways.“
Italian and FIBA Europe Cup side Happy Casa Brindisi is interested in Brandon Knight, sources tell Sportando. Kentucky alumn has 451 career games in the NBA at 13.9 ppg and most recently played in Puerto Rico averaging 23.3 ppg and 5.0 apg for Piratas de Quebradillas in 2022-23.
Shaquille Harrison-Olimpia Milano, the negotiation would be on a dead track at the moment. This was anticipated by realolimpiamilano.com in its market LIVE. The news was also confirmed by Fabrizio Lorenzi of Repubblica.
Born in 1993 in Kansas City, Shaquille Harrison finished last season with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Playoffs after an excellent year in the G League. In the second US league he was best defender in 2022 and best defensive quintet in 2023.
Olimpia Milano, with Kevin Pangos currently out of the rotation, is on the market looking for a playmaker/guard. Harrison’s name had been approached in the past few hours to the “biancorossi”, but at the moment, the dialogue between the parties has stalled.
Other rumours speak of Red Star’s interest in Shaquille Harrison.
According to Lukas Malinauskas of Basketnews.lt, Rytas Vilnius and power forward Azuolas Tubelis are close to finalizing a multi-year deal.
The 21-year-old Lithuanian spent a successful three-year stint in Arizona (19.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2 assists with 57 percent from the field last season), but was not selected in the last NBA Draft.
Immediately after draft night Tubelis signed a Two-Way Contract with the 76ers, from which he was released two weeks ago.
The promising power forward could end up on loan to another Lithuanian team.
According to Fabrizio Lorenzi of La Repubblica, Olimpia Milano has reached an agreement with Shaquille Harrison.
The 30-year-old guard will therefore play in Europe for the first time in his career, after spending his 6 Pro seasons between the NBA and G League.
The Tulsa product was voted the G League’s Best Defensive Player in 2021-22, while last year he earned a spot on the All-Defensive Team.
Nutribullet Treviso is interested in Julyan Stone, according to some Italian newspapers.
The 34-year-old all-around point guard last year led Givova Scafati with 6.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.1 rebounds.
Despite recent denials, in the event of a deal Stone is expected to take Deishuan Booker’s place in the lineup led by Coach Vitucci.
Olimpia Milano continues to work to strengthen the backcourt, which will most likely lose Kevin Pangos (the parties are negotiating to find the point guard a new team).
Talks between Milano and Shaquille Harrison are ongoing, but there is still distance between the player’s demands and the Italian club’s offer.
Harrison, 180 NBA games in 6 seasons, last year stood out in the G League producing over 13 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals per game with the South Bay Lakers.
