Ex-Gonzaga standout Kyle Wiltjer joining pro team in Spain

Former Gonzaga Bulldog Kyle Wiltjer will spend next season with Unicaja Malaga, the Spanish professional team announced.

Wiltjer, who reportedly agreed to a one-year deal, is Unicaja Malaga’s first offseason signing. The 6-foot-10 forward played most of last season for Olympiacos in Greece.

Wiltjer, a Portland native, tweeted last week that he was set to play for the Trail Blazers’ summer-league team, but he confirmed in a text message his plans changed when he neared an agreement with Unicaja Malaga.

Domantas Sabonis, Wiltjer’s former GU teammate, made his professional debut as a 16-year-old with Unicaja Malaga in 2012.

Wiltjer averaged 7.6 points and 3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game with Olympiacos. He made nearly 46 percent beyond the 3-point line and 81 percent at the free-throw line.
