John Konchar has found his next team.
The veteran wing signed a two-year contract with Olympiacos, the Greek club announced, taking his talents overseas for the first time after seven NBA seasons.
Konchar, 30, spent most of his NBA career with the Grizzlies before moving through several organizations this year. Memphis traded him to the Jazz in February as part of the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal, and Utah sent him to the Timberwolves alongside Cody Williams in August.
Minnesota subsequently waived him. Konchar then signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with the Knicks in September, but the sides mutually agreed to his release near the start of camp so he could address a personal matter.
The 6-foot-5 Konchar brings rebounding, ball-handling and defensive versatility to the defending EuroLeague champions. He averaged 4.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.6 minutes across 363 NBA regular-season games.
Olympiacos has an immediate need for wing depth. Evan Fournier is dealing with shoulder and knee injuries, while Tyler Dorsey received a one-month suspension following a social media controversy, according to BasketNews.
Konchar joins a roster that also includes former NBA players Sasha Vezenkov, Donta Hall and Kostas Papanikolaou.
Olympiacos has started EuroLeague play 5-1 after winning the championship last season, its first title in the competition since 2013.
