Xavier Tillman is set to continue his basketball journey overseas after signing with Turkish club Trabzonspor. The former NBA big man, who spent time with the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Hornets, will embark on the first international experience of his professional career.<\/p>\n

Selected with the 35th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft following a successful college career at Michigan State, Tillman now heads to Turkey looking for a bigger role and more consistent playing time. The 27-year-old center saw limited action during the 2025\/26 NBA season, making the move to Europe an attractive opportunity to relaunch his career and showcase his skills in a new environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
