Former Oregon Ducks Guard Malik Hairston has spent the majority of his post-college playing time overseas. He graduated from Oregon in 2008 and was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, who released him as a casualty of ‘too many pieces’ at the Small Forward puzzle.
On Monday, Hairston signed with Hapoel Jerusalem for the remainder of the season. It is the former Oregon Standouts fifth stop in International Play since being in the NBA. Last season he averaged 12 points and 4 rebounds per game for AEK Athens but his contract was terminated in August for failing a medical examination before the start of the season.
