AS Monaco announced its first offseason signing on Monday morning, signing center Kevarrius Hayes to a two-year deal.
Hayes (2.06 meters, 28 years old) arrives from Paris Basketball, where he helped the team reach historic heights last season. Hayes started every single one of Paris's 38 games in the EuroLeague, averaging 6.5 points and 4.6 rebounds, as Paris reached the playoffs in its debut season in the competition. Hayes also helped the team win the French League and Cup double, with the league championship marking the first in club history.
The big man is a four-year EuroLeague veteran with 129 appearances under his belt. Before his one-year stint with Paris, Hayes spent the previous two seasons with Zalgiris Kaunas. He made his EuroLeague debut with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne during the 2020-21 season.
Hayes is now set to become the first player in EuroLeague history to play for the three current French League teams playing in the competition - ASVEL, Paris and now Monaco.
Hayes made his professional basketball debut in 2019 with Cantu in Italy after playing college basketball at the University of Florida. He has also played for Frutti Extra Bursaspor, which he helped on its Cinderella run to the EuroCup Championship Game in 2022. He was among the EuroCup’s top 10 in rebounds (seventh), steals (fifth) and blocks (third) that season.
He helped ASVEL to the French League and Cup double in 2021. Hayes has also won the 2023 Lithuanian League, and a pair of Lithuanian Cup titles, too.
