Former NBA star Dwight Howard is continuing his career overseas. Howard has signed with the Taiwan Mustangs for The Asian Tournament.

Howard previously played for the Taiwan Beer Leopards of the T1 League. He won Most Valuable Import honors for the 2022-23 season, as well as being named All-T1 League and All-Defensive first teams.

The Mustangs are expected to pair Howard with Samuel Deguara, who is a 7-foot-6 center from Malta. The pair is already being called "The Two Beast Connection" by the Mustangs, with Howard nicknamed "Warcraft" and Deguara nicknamed "Dracula".

Veteran point guard Shane Larkin has signed a new four-year contract with Anadolu Efes in Turkey. Larkin joined Efes for the 2018-19 season. His new contract will carry through the 2027-28 season. That will give Larkin 10 years with Efes, which is a club record for a foreign-born player.

This season, Larkin has averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals across 44 games. Larkin shot 46.7% from the field, 40.5% on three-pointers and 89.9% on free throws this season.

Larkin was the 18th overall pick in 2013 draft out of Miami. In four NBA seasons, the 5-foot 11 point guard played for the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.
