NBL Star Bryce Cotton Poised to Finalise Three-Year Contract with Adelaide 36ers

It seems Bryce Cotton has found a new team in the NBL, with the multi-time MVP nearing a deal with the Adelaide 36ers for the upcoming season.

The 32-year-old American has arguably been the standout player in the Australian league for many years, securing the prestigious individual accolade five times.

Cotton announced earlier this year his decision to part ways with the Perth Wildcats after nearly a decade, during which he claimed three NBL titles.

The Wildcats were said to have offered Cotton a lucrative deal worth $1 million per season to stay in Perth, but he decided to decline the offer.

There were speculations that Cotton would take his talents overseas, possibly to Japan; however, a report from 9News Adelaide on Thursday confirmed that he would remain in Australia.

His agreement with the 36ers is believed to extend for three years.

This signing is a significant achievement for the 36ers and ranks among the largest in NBL history.

Cotton has led the scoring charts in the league eight times, including the last seven consecutive years, since joining the Wildcats in 2017.

After going undrafted following his college career, Cotton had brief stints with various NBA teams, including the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns, but did not carve out a notable presence in the league.
