The 28-year-old has left the Jiangsu Dragons after finishing his participation in the Chinese CBA, where he averaged 16.3 points, 13.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks for 24.0 PIR in 49 games.

Kaba's career journey thus far includes four seasons of EuroCup experience, traversing leagues from the French to the Turkish and the Adriatic. He clinched the MVP title in the 2021-22 Turkish League season with Gaziantep.

Standing at 2.08 meters, Kaba is an accomplished rebounding specialist. He finished his CBA campaign as the leader in total rebounds (13.1) and offensive rebounds (5.1).

In his last CBA outing, held just this Monday, he grabbed 26 rebounds to leave the tournament as the leader in this category. This is not unfamiliar territory for him, having previously topped the rebounding charts in the EuroCup (2022-23), the Adriatic League (2016-17), and the Turkish League (2021-22).

Valencia, as per the official release, is diligently working on securing all requisite documentation to ensure Kaba's potential debut on Sunday in the ACB League matchup against Baskonia.
