Yesterday, Fredette’s brother, TJ, posted a message on Facebook that read, “People have been asking me so just wanted to say this report is correct, will be fun to watch!!” But, unfortunately, the Sin City fun has now been taken away.

Fredette’s last appearance in an NBA regular season game was with the Phoenix Suns during the 2018-19 campaign. Since his exit from the NBA, he’s had stops with Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague, and now he’s currently with the Shanghai Sharks in the CBA.
Two years ago, Fredette had a brief two-game appearance in the NBA Summer League with the Golden State Warriors before leaving the team to minimize the risk of injury.
