Donnell Harvey Announces Return to Professional Basketball, Signs with Overseas Team
New York, NY – Professional basketball player Donnell Harvey has officially announced his return to competitive play, signing a one-year contract with a prominent overseas league team. The 43-year-old forward, who last appeared in the NBA during the 2004-2005 season with the Denver Nuggets, will join an undisclosed club in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a statement released Tuesday by his management team. Harvey, a former first-round draft pick in the 2000 NBA draft out of the University of Florida, has spent the past two decades playing in various international leagues, including stops in Europe and Asia. His return comes after a brief hiatus from the sport, during which he focused on personal ventures. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but sources indicate the contract is effective immediately pending medical clearance. Harvey is expected to arrive in the team’s home country later this week to begin training camp.
