After averaging 4.9 minutes per game across 16 appearances with Sacramento last season and being waived this offseason, Dozier will get a fresh start overseas. The 6-foot-6 wing has struggled to find a consistent NBA role since entering the league in 2017, appearing in fewer than 18 games four times during his six-year career.
