Ever wonder what Travis Best has been up to since he last played in the NBA during the 2004-05 season?
Well, he was cut by his Euroleague team Prokom Trefl Sopot on November 10th, despite having averaged 9.3 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 2 apg in three games with the team this season, including a 20 point burst at Zalgiris.

Before signing with Prokom, he played for BC Unics Kazan and Virtus Bologna.
For BC Unics Kazan Best averaged 11.5 ppg, to go along with 2.5 rpg and 3.2 apg in a little over 27 minutes per in ULEB Cup play, including two games against Virtus Roma with slightly better numbers.
For Virtus Bologna last season, Best averaged 14.1 ppg 2.7 rpg and 4.3 apg in 25.9 mpg in Eurocup competition, twice scoring 24 points, against DTL EKA AEL and Türk Telekom.
So where is he now? Prokom wanted more consistency at the point spot, and signed Mustafa Shakur the next day, who'll join Dajuan Wagner as remaining American members of the team.
Considering that Best has said that he has no plans to retire any time soon, it is likely that he'll latch on with another team soon - probably in Europe again. It doesn't look like he'll be back in the NBA.
