Manimal arrives in Italy. Unahotels Reggiana announced Kenneth Faried's signing until the season's end. #22 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, he has almost 500 appearances between regular season and playoffs with the jerseys of Denver, Brooklyn, and Houston. After a few experiences in China and Puerto Rico, as well as a brief stint at CSKA Moscow, Faried played last season in the G-League at the Mexico City Capitanes, finishing with 12.7 points and 11.3 rebounds average, and then moved until a few weeks ago to the Mexican league with the Soles de Mexicali, making it all the way to the semi-finals of the championship and producing in 27 games 10.6 points and 8.6 rebounds average. “Kenneth Faried will wear jersey number 35, which has accompanied him throughout his career, and will arrive in town in the next few days, once the paperwork related to obtaining a face.”

He will compete in the Italian Serie A and in the Basketball Champions League. “I am really excited to be able to continue my career in Italy and have the opportunity to show all my skills with the Reggio Emilia jersey. This team has a great culture and its fans, from what I understand, participate with enormous energy in games. All the more reason, given these premises, I want to put all my determination and toughness on the parquet at the club's disposal, so that the Reggio Emilia community can immediately welcome me as one of them", he said.
