Former NBL MVP and 2022 NBL champion Jaylen Adams has signed with the Brisbane Bullets for NBL26.
"I’ve seen what Brisbane is building and I want to be part of something special," Adams told the club's website.
"This is a team and city ready to take the next step, and I’m coming in hungry to lead from the front, compete every night, and chase another title."
Adams, 29, carried the Sydney Kings backcourt in NBL25 but 2022 champions signalled they were going in a different direction, signing former NBA champion, Melbourne United point guard Matthew Dellavedova and electric Adelaide 36ers guard Kendric Davis in the off-season.
It left no room for Adams.
"Jaylen is a proven winner and one of the best guards to have played in this league," Brisbane Bullets head coach Stu Lash said.
"His presence will instantly elevate this group — he’s a leader, a competitor, and will make everyone around him better.
“Bullets fans should be fired up! This is a statement signing that shows a strong commitment from ownership and a clear directive from Malcom Watts.
“We’ve been building deliberately and with purpose, and it’s exciting to finally unveil some of the pieces we’ve been working on.
“There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to see it all come together, and most importantly, share it with our fans.”
Adams averaged 18.4 points per game, 6.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds in NBL25. He dropped a season-high 43 points on the Adelaide 36ers on January 24, 2025 in 36 minutes.
