Kyle Guy, formerly a standout player for Joventut, Panathinaikos, and Tenerife, has made an astonishing comeback to professional basketball. After reaching the Basketball Champions League Final and leading the league in scoring, Guy announced his retirement in the autumn of 2025 to pursue a coaching career with the University of Virginia staff.
However, his G League performances have been so dominant that he has earned a call-up to the USA national team for the November 2027 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. Guy is currently averaging 22.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 3.7 rebounds through six games for the Noblesville Boom.
This unexpected return sees Guy join familiar faces on the 12-man roster, including Brandon Knight. The team is scheduled to face Nicaragua in two upcoming qualification games, marking a remarkable transition from coaching back to active play for Guy.
