Didi Louzada returning to Sydney

Brazilian Next Star Didi Louzada is returning to Sydney, boarding a flight bound for Australia where he'll suit up for the Kings once again in NBL21.

Louzada could still return to the NBA, with the New Orleans Pelicans acquiring his rights from Atlanta who selected him with the 35th Pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

In 24 games with Sydney last season, 21 year-old Louzada averaged 11.4 points shooting 42 per cent from the field.

His best outing came against the Perth Wildcats in November where he dropped 28 points on 7/11 shooting from beyond the arc.

Louzada re-joins a Kings lineup that includes Casper Ware, Angus Glover, Jordan Hunter, Dejan Vasiljevic, Shaun Bruce, Brad Newley, Craig Moller, Xavier Cooks and Daniel Kickert.
