Damien Wilkins begins new chapter in China

Damien Wilkins

Long-time NBA veteran Damien Wilkins (201 cm, Georgia’04) did not manage to stir up interest from NBA teams this season. Damien participated in the Atlanta Hawks training camp, but was not kept by the team. He decided to hit the international market and agreed to terms to play in China for Shougang Beijing Ducks. Wilkins will join former NBA guard Stephon Marbury in the Ducks’ backcourt.

Damien managed to play 60 games for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2012-13 season. He posted averages of 6.5 ppg and 1.8 in 18 minutes per game off Philly’s bench. He’s been around the block in the NBA, having previously played for the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves and Seattle Supersonics.
