This was reported earlier this month by Theo Lawson of the Spokesman that the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers were interested in former Gonzaga star Killian Tillie before an untimely injury.
“Tillie returned to Spokane, rehabbed, recovered and prepared for camp workouts in late spring/early summer with the hopes of latching onto another NBA team,” Lawson wrote of the former Memphis Grizzlies forward’s attempted NBA return following his release from the Memphis Grizzlies in 2022. “The 2.05m forward has had a number of contacts, with strong interest coming from the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers in particular.”
In an announcement on X, Tillie shared on Wednesday that he had signed a contract in Spain with Unicaja Baloncesto de Málaga.

Tillie went undrafted out of Gonzaga where he won the 2018 WCC Tournament MVP award. Signing a two-way contract with the Grizzlies in 2020, Tillie played in 54 NBA games for Memphis, averaging 3.2 points in 11.9 minutes per game.
While on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, Tillie appeared in a handful of games for their G League affiliate (two Showcase Cup games and one regular season game).

Tillie spent the 2024 NBA Summer League with the Boston Celtics, but that didn’t appear to translate into a training camp opportunity, leading the former Gonzaga standout to head to Spain.
