Former Duquesne G Mike Lewis II Signs Pro Contract in Europe
Former Duquesne men’s basketball guard Mike Lewis has signed a professional contract with Pécsi VSK-VEOLIA men’s basketball club based in Pécs, Hungary, he told Pittsburgh Sports Now.
Lewis will play in the NB I/A, or first division, his first competitive basketball since leaving the Dukes midseason in 2018. He transferred to Nevada, where he had to sit out a year. After a coaching change at Nevada, he left the team and eventually turned pro.

At Duquesne, Lewis averaged 12.9 points per game, made 164 three-point shots and fired at an 82.2% clip from the free throw line.
