Montrezl Harrell has agreed to a new one-year deal to return to the Adelaide 36ers, his agent Darrell Comer, Senior VP of CSE Talent told ESPN.
Harrell, 31, played eight seasons in the NBA, with the last coming with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2022-23 regular season. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game that season.
It appears that Harrell has found a home with the 36ers as he continues his professional basketball career.

New GM Sam Hinkie made a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans to send All-Star Jrue Holiday to New Orleans for the No. 6 pick which turned out to be Kentucky big man Nerlens Noel.

American guard Doyle leaves JackJumpers for NBL rivals
American guard Milton Doyle is set to confirm a move to Melbourne United after bringing an end to his successful NBL stint with the Tasmania JackJumpers. Doyle has been one of the league's premier guards over the past three seasons, averaging 15.8 points, 4.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He made 96 appearances for Tasmania and was a key piece of the puzzle in the club's historic 2023/24 championship under coach Scott Roth. Thank you Milt. Milton Doyle has informed the club he won't be accepting the offer presented by the JackJumpers, opting to pursue a new direction in NBL26. "While we're disappointed we weren't able to come to an agreement to continue his time in Tasmania, we respect his… — Tasmania JackJumpers 🐜 (@JackJumpers) June 1, 2025 "We wish Milton and his family all the best for the future," JackJumpers chief operating officer Darren Smith said in a statement. "He's been a big part of our club for the last three years and we thank him for everything he has given during his time with us. "While we're disappointed we weren't able to come to an agreement to continue his NBL journey in Tasmania, we respect his decision and wish him, Keyara and the children every success." Doyle, who was also named Tasmania's MVP in 2023, is currently in Puerto Rico playing for Indios de Mayaguez. The 31-year-old was part of the Brooklyn Nets as a two-way player in 2017-18 and has spent most of his career between the NBA G-League and Europe. Melbourne are coming off successive NBL Championship Series defeats, and have had top-two regular-season finishes in four of the past five years. But they have been forced to rethink their recruiting strategy this year, having lost high-profile locals Matthew Dellavedova and Jack White. Doyle, who has reportedly agreed a one-year deal with United, is likely to be one of three imports on the roster. Melbourne already have Chris Goulding, Finn Delany, Shea Ili, Kyle Bowen, Tanner Krebs, Fabijan Krslovic, Tom Wilson and Next Star recruit Dash Daniels signed for the upcoming season.

Former Sixers guard TJ McConnell headed to Finals as Pacers beat Knicks
Former Sixers guard TJ McConnell headed to Finals as Pacers beat Knicks Former Philadelphia 76ers guard TJ McConnell has had to earn every opportunity he's gotten in the NBA. He went undrafted out of Arizona and received a chance with the Sixers in the 2015-16 season and spent four seasons with Philadelphia as a champion of The Process era. After his successful run with the Sixers, he signed with the Indiana Pacers in the 2019 offseason and has been a reliable piece of the rotation. He has made a difference in plenty of games for the Pacers and on Saturday helped Indiana finish off the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals 125-108 in Game 6. McConnell played 13 minutes off the bench and had three points, four rebounds, and two assists, and made scrappy plays all night. It was a performance that he has become known for in his career and he was a thorn in the side of the Knicks all series long. McConnell and the Pacers will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals starting on Thursday from the Paycom Center. The Thunder, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, also feature another former Sixers guard in the form of 2020 second-round pick, Isaiah Joe.
