The Canadian Elite Basketball League's Hamilton Honey Badgers have re-signed former NBA player Joel Anthony as a player development consultant.

He also played for Boston, Detroit and San Antonio.
After his time in the NBA, Anthony signed with San Lorenzo of Argentina's top basketball league. During his two-year stint in Argentina, he helped the club win back-to-back championships domestically and in The Americas League.
