Gabriele Procida (born 1 June 2002) is an Italian professional basketball player for Alba Berlin of the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the EuroLeague.

Early life and youth career

[edit]

Procida grew up playing basketball for Pallacanestro Cantù at the youth level. He competed for the youth teams of Stella Azzurra and Virtus Bologna at the Next Generation Tournament.[1]

Professional career

[edit]

On 13 October 2019, at age 17, Procida made his professional debut for Pallacanestro Cantù in a Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) game against Reyer Venezia.[2] On 19 June 2020, he signed a four-year contract with Cantù.[3] On 24 January 2021, Procida scored 24 points in a 107–83 loss to VL Pesaro. At 18 years, seven months and 23 days of age, he became the third-youngest player in league history to score at least 24 points in a game, behind Luigi Datome and Carlos Delfino.[4]

On 30 May 2021, Procida declared for the 2021 NBA draft.[5] On 7 July he left Cantù, after the club was relegated to Serie A2,[6] and signed a multi-year contract with Fortitudo Bologna.[7]

On 8 July 2022, Procida signed with Alba Berlin of the Basketball Bundesliga.[8]

On 16 February 2023, Procida was announced as one of the candidates for the EuroLeague Rising Star award,[9] which was ultimately won by Yam Madar. Procida won the award the following year after averaging 8.3 points and 1.4 steals in the 2023–24 EuroLeague season.[10]

NBA rights

[edit]

In May 2022, Procida declared for the NBA draft for the second year in a row.[11] During the event itself, on 23 June 2022, he was subsequently selected by Portland Trail Blazers as their second-round pick and the 36th pick of the night overall, before being immediately traded to Detroit Pistons.[12][13]

On 8 February 2024, the draft rights to Procida were traded to the Utah Jazz alongside Kevin Knox and a future second round pick for Simone Fontecchio.[14]

National team career

[edit]

Procida represented Italy at the 2018 FIBA U16 European Championship in Serbia, averaging 10.1 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.[15] He averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game for Italy at the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship in Greece.[16]

On 19 February 2021, Procida made his Italian senior national team debut, playing five minutes against Estonia during EuroBasket 2022 qualification.[17]
