Former NBA guard Donald Sloan, who signed with the NBL’s Adelaide 36ers in August, is awaiting for the season to start once COVID-19 restrictions allow.

Sloan is averaging 27.0 ppg after two games.

Until then, Sloan is staying in game shape as a member of the Baseline in the Baybrook, TX Ultimate Hoops League. In two games, Sloan is averaging 27.0 ppg and 6.5 asts. His 26.4 PPR rating ranks fourth in the league behind Aaron Miller, Bradley George and Zachary Hamilton.

Sloan spent five seasons in the NBA, highlighted by a two-year stretch with the Indiana Pacers; the 6'3 guard averaging 7.4 points 2.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game over the 2014-15 NBA season.

Undrafted in 2010, the native of Louisiana has played across the world, suiting up in the NBA, NBA G-League, Chinese Basketball Association, and, most recently, the Bundesliga in Germany.

Sloan only played three games in Germany, due to the season being posted because of COVID-19, averaging 11.7 points a contest. The season prior, he posted 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists a game for the Jiangsu Dragons in the CBA.

Sloan is expected to start at the point for the 36ers, and add a veteran presence to a relatively young team. He'll join Isaac Humphries, Josh Giddey, Sunday Dech, and Keanu Pinder as the new additions on Henry's roster.
