Former Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has found a new basketball home. After spending the 2024-25 season with the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, Milton will reportedly head overseas to sign with Partizan Belgrade.
Milton spent his first five seasons with the Sixers averaging 9.3 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.4 rebounds off the bench. He finished 12th in 6th Man of the Year voting in the 2020-21 season when he averaged 13.0 points in the first year of the Doc Rivers era.
The former No. 54 pick in 2018 averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 2024-25 split between the Nets and the Lakers. He will now look to continue his basketball career in Belgrade.
Milton is an NBA player, but there just doesn’t appear to be a spot for him in the league. One has to believe he will eventually work his back to the NBA and earn a spot back in a team’s rotation.
