Former Wisconsin basketball star signs new deal with Spanish team

Former Wisconsin men’s basketball star Brad Davison signed a new deal with Spain’s Obradoiro CAB on Friday, per his recent post on X.

The squad is based in Compostela, Spain, and competes in the LEG Gold League. This will be Davison’s third season playing professional basketball overseas.

Most recently, Davison spent his 2023-24 season representing another Spanish platoon, HLA Alicante. The Minnesota native averaged a stellar 18.5 points, 2.9 boards and 2.5 assists per appearance on a nearly a 42% shooting clip from beyond the arc.

Davison departed Madison after five spectacular seasons as a Badger. He ranks No. 1 in school history with 300 career 3-point field goals, 156 career starts and 160 games played. He also lands within the top 10 in career free throw efficiency (84.1%), wins (101), points (1,827), free throws (405), assists (343) and steals (160).

Davison was named to the All-Big Ten second team after his 14.5-point, 4.1-rebound output in 2022. He remains one of four players in program history with 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists alongside Michael Finley, Nigel Hayes-Davis and Ethan Happ.
