Former NBA point guard Ryan Arcidiacono will be playing in Germany during the 2026/27 season, having signed a one-year contract with the Frankfurt Skyliners, according to a press release from the team.

Arcidiacono was a full-time starter at Villanova from 2012-16, winning a national championship with the Wildcats as a senior. The point guard made his NBA debut a year later with the Bulls and ended up spending seven seasons in the league from 2017-24, making 257 regular season appearances for Chicago, New York, and Portland.

Known as a Tom Thibodeau favorite, Arcidiacono held career averages of 4.0 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.8 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, with a .421/.369/.807 shooting line. Since playing 20 games for the Knicks during the 2023/24 season, the 32-year-old has suited up for teams in Italy and Puerto Rico.

• NBA in-game ad revenue rose by 38% to a record-setting $2.11 billion during the 2025/26 season, according to Anthony Crupi of Sportico. As Crupi details, the 2026 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs generated nearly the same amount of total ad revenue as the Finals between the Thunder and Pacers the year before, despite the fact that the 2026 series ran just five games and the 2025 series went seven. Crupi shares several more details related to the NBA broadcasts in 2025/26, including the fact that the median age for viewers of Amazon Prime Video games was nearly 10 years less than that of the linear TV broadcasts on NBC and ESPN/ABC.
