Forward Mouhamadou Gueye technically remains under contract with the Charlotte Hornets, but his brief stint with the team appears to be ending. Spanish club Valencia Basket announced today in a press release that it will be adding Gueye to its roster.
Gueye, who went undrafted out of Pitt in 2022, has spent most of his four-year professional career in the G League, playing for the Texas Legends, Raptors 905, Capital City Go-Go, and Windy City Bulls.
Last season, the 6'9" forward averaged:
- 14.9 points
- 7.4 rebounds
- 1.8 assists
- 1.4 blocks
...in 29.2 minutes per game over 47 outings for Windy City.
Gueye's strong G League performance earned him a two-year contract with the Chicago Bulls during the final week of the 2025/26 regular season. The 28-year-old, who previously made 11 appearances for the Toronto Raptors during the 2023/24 season, logged 45 minutes in Chicago's last two regular-season games in April, contributing 16 points, six rebounds, and six assists.
The Bulls subsequently picked up Gueye's non-guaranteed minimum-salary option for 2026/27 in order to include him in a trade. He was originally headed to Minnesota as part of a three-team agreement involving the Timberwolves, Nets, and Bulls. However, when the deal expanded to include the Hornets, Gueye was ultimately traded to Charlotte.
At the time of the initial trade agreement, reports indicated that the Timberwolves were expected to waive Gueye after acquiring him. When the Hornets ended up with him instead, there was a belief they would take the same route. Charlotte has not yet cut him, but they are expected to do so soon, freeing him to finalize his new deal with Valencia Basket.
Valencia Basket finished second in the EuroLeague regular season standings in 2025/26 with a 25-13 record and reached the EuroLeague Final Four before being eliminated by Real Madrid. The team is undergoing significant roster changes this offseason, with leading scorer Jean Montero (Olympiacos) and NBA first-round pick Sergio de Larrea (Mavericks) among the departures.
