In December 1997, he played just six games before walking out on the team, with the impending return of Chris Herren being cited as reason for his departure. In 1998, he returned to the team for the 1998–99 season.

In July 2002, he signed with Santa Lucia Realty of the Philippines for a short stint. Later that year, he signed with the West Sydney Razorbacks for the 2002–03 season.
In November 2003, he joined the Sioux Falls Skyforce for the 2003–04 CBA season. He later left after just two games. In December 2003, he joined Anjou Basket Club Angers of France for the rest of the season.
