According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Shareef O’Neal, the son of Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, is signing a six-figure contract with the NBA G League Ignite.
O’Neal, who overcame open-heart surgery in 2018 and foot injuries in 2020, played for the Los Angeles Lakers’ Summer League team but didn’t secure a professional deal with the NBA side, thereby maintaining his status as a free agent.
In six games, Shareef O’Neal averaged 4.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game.
