Koufos had previously signed with Ignite team from the G League. His stint there was not successful. The center only appeared in one match on November 26th where he only played 2.5 minutes, during which he collected a rebound, made 2 turnovers, and committed 3 fouls.

Koufos was drafted as the 23rd pick in the 2008 NBA draft. He spent a total of 11 seasons in the NBA with his best year coming in the 2012-2013 season with the Denver Nuggets when the center averaged 8 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.

After leaving the NBA, Koufos signed with CSKA Moscow in 2019 to a reportedly record-breaking contract. The experience there was short-lived, with the center averaging only 3.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

The Greek center later signed with Olympiacos Piraeus next year. Although the team was new, the stats remained mainly the same - 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.8 PIR in 10 minutes of play.
