Maxima Roma continue to build their roster for the 2026-27 season. According to Superbasket, the Rome-based club have reached an agreement with Vernon Carey Jr., a 2001-born center from Miami, bringing the number of foreign players on the roster to five.<\/p>\n
Carey played college basketball at Duke before spending time in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards. During the 2025-26 season, he appeared in a few G League games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, averaging 8.1 points and 3.4 rebounds.<\/p>\n
The American big man returned to action after the knee injury suffered late in the 2023-24 season with Pinar Karsiyaka, where he had averaged 13.1 points and 6.1 rebounds. In Rome, he will join a frontcourt that already includes confirmed center Miro Bilan and new addition John Brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
