After splitting the 2024–2025 season between the G-League and a few NBA appearances with the Brooklyn Nets, 24-year-old guard Killian Hayes is reportedly aiming to secure a spot in an NBA preseason camp this summer, according to BeBasket. Hayes attracted interest from several European clubs, including ASVEL, which reportedly made him a strong offer. However, the French-American guard declined, choosing to stay focused on pursuing opportunities in the NBA rather than returning to Europe.
Other EuroLeague heavyweights, such as Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes, reportedly also inquired about Hayes, but no concrete offers have been made. Hayes appears determined to keep his sights on the NBA, at least for now. After playing for Cholet and Ratiopharm Ulm at the start of his professional career, he was selected by the Detroit Pistons as the 7th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Brian Lewis: Brooklyn did not keep Killian Hayes on a second 10-day contract, sources told the Post. After Hayes started the past five straight games, his deal expired today. It could be a sign that starting point guard D'Angelo Russell is getting close to a return. #Nets
Erik Slater: Jordi Fernandez says he wants to see Killian Hayes shoot more threes: "He did a good job sharing the basketball... But I need him to be aggressive as well... I want him to shoot more threes. Three [attempts] is not enough. I need to see him letting it fly."
“I felt very grateful. I felt like a lot of work got put into this, and I’m just very grateful for this opportunity,” said Hayes, who scored five points in 21 minutes in the Nets’ 110-97 loss to the Cavaliers. “I’m very grateful for this time in Long Island. From the coaching staff to my brothers over there. It was a learning curve, and I’m just happy to be back here.
Brian Lewis: Jordi Fernandez on Killian Hayes: "Having a traditional backup point guard is good for us...This 10 days is important not just for him but also for us if he can do the things we're asking him to do. But we know who he is; thats the reason we brought him in the first place." #Nets
