He surpassed ten minutes of playing time in only seventeen of those contests, and in the playoffs he posted 2.8 points in nine games, not playing in the final six.

Since then, he has played for Boston, Miami, Houston, Detroit, Utah, Toronto, New Orleans, and San Antonio. He reached the 2020 Finals with the Heat.
Over his career, he averages 9.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 842 games. He is also an international player for Canada.
Where He's Headed
Roma Basketball is one of two new clubs in the Italian capital and makes its debut this week in the EuroCup, precisely in the opening matchday.
The club also has a notable shareholder: Luka Dončić is among its owners.
