Professional career

Powell went undrafted in the 2003 NBA Draft and played in Europe. He played in two games in the 2003–04 season with Lokomotiv-Rostov in the Russian Superleague, before finishing the season with Scafati Basket of the Italian Second Division. In the 2004–05 season, Powell averaged 15.9 points and 11.9 rebounds per game with JuveCaserta Basket in the Italian Second Division. Powell then worked out for numerous NBA teams, and was eventually signed by the Dallas Mavericks, who were looking for a power forward to develop behind star Dirk Nowitzki.

Dallas Mavericks

At the beginning of the 2005–2006 season, Powell was in the D-League and put up solid numbers until he was called up to the NBA, where he played only in "garbage time," when the game had already been practically decided. But, after injuries to starting small forward Josh Howard and backup power forward Keith Van Horn, he began to get more time when Nowitzki was in need of rest.

Indiana Pacers

He was traded on July 23, 2006, along with Darrell Armstrong and Rawle Marshall to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Anthony Johnson. He had a guaranteed contract for the 2006–2007 season with the Pacers.

Golden State Warriors

On January 17, 2007, Powell was dealt to the Golden State Warriors along with teammates Stephen Jackson, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, and Al Harrington for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod.[1]

Los Angeles Clippers

On August 14, he joined his fourth team in three years, signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.[2] He was later waived as a result of a surplus of big men on the team.[3]

Los Angeles Lakers

On August 14, 2008, Powell signed a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers to replace the departed Ronny Turiaf.[4]

After starting center Andrew Bynum went down with an injury, Powell began to play a substantial amount of minutes, and had his best pro-season yet. However, with Bynum's return, Powell saw almost all of his minutes cut. On June 14, 2009, Powell won his first NBA championship, in a 99–86 victory over the Orlando Magic. On June 17, 2010, Powell won his second straight NBA championship, in an 83–79 Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics.

Atlanta Hawks

On July 26, 2010, after winning two NBA championship rings with the Lakers, Powell signed a 1-year deal worth $1.1 million with the Atlanta Hawks.[5]

San Antonio Spurs

On September 27, 2012, Powell joined the San Antonio Spurs.[6] On October 26, the Spurs waived Powell.[7]

International career

In the summer of 2011, Powell signed with the Liaoning Dinosaurs of the Chinese Basketball Association.[8]

After playing in China, Powell signed to play in the Swiss 2nd Division with Neuchâtel Basket.[9] However, he left before playing a game for them. On March 29, 2012, Powell agreed to a deal to play with Brujos de Guayama of the BSN, Puerto Rico's professional basketball league.[10]

Later in 2012, Powell signed with Olympiacos of the Greek Basket League.[11] With Olympiacos, he won the 2012-13 season championship of the Euroleague.

New York Knicks

On April 1, 2014, he signed with the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel of the Philippine Basketball Association.[15] On April 13, 2014, he left Barangay after just 2 games.[16]

Houston Rockets

On April 16, 2014, Powell signed with the Houston Rockets.[17] On October 24, 2014, he was waived by the Rockets.[18]

Argentina/Puerto Rico

On September 18, 2015, Powell signed with the Milwaukee Bucks.[19] However, he was later waived by the Bucks on October 21, 2015 after appearing in four preseason games.[20] On December 3, he signed with San Lorenzo of Argentina.[21]

On March 28, 2016, Powell left San Lorenzo and signed with Indios de Mayagüez of Puerto Rico.[22]
