According to Sportando.basketball, Terry Henderson has signed a deal with Scaligera Verona. The club currently plays in Serie A2 which is the second division in Italy. The former Charlotte Hornets‘ guard will now head overseas after one season in the G-League with the Greensboro Swarm.

He played the entirety of the 2017-18 campaign with Charlotte’s G-League affiliate. The 24-year old impressed in his lone season with the Greensboro Swarm as he was one of their best players.
