EuroLeague champion Petr Cornelie is coming to Monaco on a three-year deal, the Roca Team communicated.

Cornelie, 27, is coming off a season with Real Madrid, a team that waived him at the end of June after the end of the deal. During the year with Los Blancos, Cornelie won the EuroLeague and the Spanish Super Cup.

He averaged 5.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 6.7 PIR over 33 EuroLeague games last season. His ACB averages marked 4.4 points, 3.0 boards, and 4.8 PIR in 30 contests.

Now, returning to the French League, Cornelie will continue to make his mark in familiar territory. Before his time with Real, he represented Le Mans Sarthe from 2013 to 2019, had a loan spell with Metropolitans 92 during the 2017-18 season, and played for Elan Bearnais from 2019 to 2021.

Following his eight-season tenure in France, the 53rd pick of the 2016 NBA Draft spent the 2021-22 campaign with the Denver Nuggets and their G League affiliate Grand Rapids Gold.

In the NBA, he made 13 appearances and recorded averages of 1.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 2.9 minutes per game. Cornelie became NBA G League rebounding leader in 2022, grabbing 12.7 boards per contest.
