Sioux Falls, SD – The Sioux Falls Skyforce announced today that the team has acquired guard Mychal Mulder via returning player rights.
Mulder, a 6-4, 193-pound guard went undrafted in the 2017 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. He was then the ninth pick of the 2017 NBA G League Draft by the Windy City Bulls.
He appeared in 15 games (two starts) as a two-way player for the Orlando Magic this season, averaging 3.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.2 assists per 13.0 minutes a game. As a part of his two-way deal, he played in two games (two starts) for the Lakeland Magic, averaging 14.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 36.4 minutes per game.
Prior to his time with Orlando and Lakeland this season, Mulder spent parts of two seasons with the Golden State Warriors.
