Tosan Evbuomwan reportedly agrees two-year Barcelona deal after G League MVP run

British forward Tosan Evbuomwan has reportedly agreed a two-year deal with Barcelona, continuing a rapid rise that has already taken him from Newcastle to Princeton, the NBA and an NBA G League title.

BasketNews reported on Friday that Barcelona have finalised an agreement with Evbuomwan, citing Chema de Lucas. The move has not yet been confirmed by the club, so it should still be treated as a reported deal rather than an official Barcelona announcement.

If completed, it would give one of Britain’s most intriguing forwards a major European platform. Barcelona remain one of the biggest names in continental basketball, and Evbuomwan’s blend of size, passing and frontcourt versatility would make him a notable British storyline to follow next season.

The 6ft 7in forward strengthened his case in April when he was named NBA G League Finals MVP after helping Greensboro Swarm beat Stockton Kings 119-104 to complete a 2-0 Finals sweep. Greensboro said Evbuomwan averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in the series while shooting 50% from the field and adding 1.5 steals.

He also led the Swarm in the title-clinching game with 22 points and seven rebounds, adding another milestone to a career path that began in the North East before a standout college spell at Princeton.

For UK basketball fans, the reported Barcelona move is another example of a British-developed player building value across different levels of the professional game. Evbuomwan has had NBA and two-way contract experience, but a full European role with a club of Barcelona’s profile could give him regular minutes in a high-pressure environment.

All eyes now turn to Barcelona for official confirmation and details of where Evbuomwan fits into the club’s rebuilt frontcourt.
