Pinkston is off to Europe.
Former Villanova forward JayVaughn Pinkston has signed a deal with Pallacanestro Mantovana of the Italian Serie A2, the second division of basketball in the country.
It's been a tough start to Pinkston's pro career after he tore his ACL in his first NBA practice with the Brooklyn Nets last spring. After almost a year of rehabr, he signed with the Maine Red Claws (D-League affiliate of the Boston Celtics) and participated in the NBA Summer League.
Mantovana is based in Mantua in the Northern region of Lombardy.
