The NBA power forward veteran, 33, won the 2019 title with the Toronto Raptors.

Ibaka was the No. 24 overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft and has carved out a 14-year career.
The Congo native was named to the All-Defensive First Team with the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2012-2014 and led the league in blocks in two of those seasons.
During that time. Ibaka would play alongside star teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
And he’d be a part of the 2012 squad that lost in five games to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
After a short stint with the Orlando Magic, Ibaka was traded to the Raptors in 2017.
He’d appear in 228 games for Toronto and averaged 14.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest.
However, Ibaka has seen his playing time decrease since leaving the Raptors.
He saw his minutes drop from 27.0 (2019) to 23.3 with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2020 and then 16.3 with LA and the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021.
Last season, Ibaka played 16 games for the Bucks and averaged 4.1 points while logging fewer than 12 minutes per contest.
Milwaukee traded Ibaka to the Indiana Pacers in February but was waived two days later.
The 33-year-old has made $141million while playing in 152 playoff games over his 14 years in the NBA.
And his career averages are 12.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, and close to 2.0 blocks per game while shooting 51.3% from the field.
While waiting for a team to sign, Ibaka has spent time in Toronto, where the Congo native remembers his past memories and the culture that comes with the city.
“This is one of the beautiful places where you see so many people from different places,” Ibaka said in a July 14 interview with Uninterrupted.
“The culture here, it’s just so amazing, you feel so comfortable.
“When I’m here I feel so comfortable because I feel like I’m not the only one from somewhere else.
“It’s so beautiful.”
