O.J. Mayo: Finds work in China
Mayo agreed to a contract Thursday with a Chinese Basketball Association team, international basketball reporter Zhang Duo reports.
Since being dismissed and disqualified from the NBA for at least two years in July 2016, Mayo has bounced around the international ranks, spending time with clubs in Puerto Rico, Taiwan and China. He'll now get an opportunity in China's top league, but the 32-year-old seems unlikely to resurface in the NBA even though his suspension has concluded.

O.J. Mayo: Let go by Puerto Rican team
Mayo was released Puerto Rican team Atleticos de San German, Sportnado reports.
Mayo started 18 of his 21 appearances with the team, though had his fair share of struggles, shooting just 39.0 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc. He also averaged 13.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals. At 30 years old, he's still young enough to theoretically make an NBA comeback, but his performance with Atleticos de San German doesn't suggest any team will want to take the risk.

O.J. Mayo: Signs with Puerto Rican club
Mayo has agreed to a contract with San German in Puerto Rico, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
Mayo was "dismissed and disqualified" from the NBA in July of 2016 for violating the NBA/NBPA's Anti-Drug Program. Though he planned to appeal his two-year ban, that never came to fruition, so this summer will be the first time he's been eligible to sign an NBA deal. He'll presumably be using his time in Puerto Rico to get some run in before testing NBA waters once again. During his most recent NBA season in Milwaukee, the guard averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds across 26.6 minutes.
