Pallacanestro Reggiana announced that it had reached an agreement with the American forward until the end of the season.
"I am really excited to be able to continue my career in Italy and have the opportunity to show all my skills with the Reggio Emilia jersey," Faried said in a statement. "This team has a great culture, and its fans, from what I have heard, participate with enormous energy in the games."
"Even more so, given these premises, I want to make available to the Club all my determination and my toughness on the court so that the Reggio community can immediately welcome me as one of them," he continued.
The 35-year-old became famous for his dunks and athleticism in the NBA, making almost 500 appearances and playing for the Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets, and Houston Rockets.
Faried averaged 11.4 points and 8.1 rebounds during his NBA career.
It won't be the first Faried's stint in Europe, as he made a big move in 2021, signing with CSKA Moscow. Shortly after, Faried returned to the G League.
