Sigal Prishtina (Superliga) strengthened their roster with the addition of experienced 36-year-old Kosovan-American international 185cm point guard Malcolm Armstead (college: Wichita State) for the 2026-27 season. He is the second foreign player on the roster, as Nigerian Ajiri Ogemuno-Johnson signed earlier. Armstead is making a comeback to Prishtina, where he has played before. Last season, he played at Bashkimi (Superliga), averaging 4.7ppg, 1.6rpg, 2.8apg, and 1.3spg in 10 games, helping them reach the cup final. In the 2024-25 season, he played for another Kosovan team, Golden Eagle Ylli, averaging 8.1ppg, 2.8rpg, 4.0apg, and 1.7spg in 29 games in Superliga.
Armstead, a very experienced player, has played professionally in ten different countries on three different continents - Europe, Africa, and North America. He has played for teams in Greece (AEK BC Athens, Rethymno, Panorama, and Kymis), Lithuania (Neptunas), Russia (Avtodor), Slovenia (Krka), Switzerland (Fribourg), Turkey (Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesi, Yesilgiresun, and Buyukcekmece), North Macedonia (Gostivar), The Basketball Tournament (Aftershocks), and Rwanda (Orion).
Among many awards, he won the Balkan League championship title in 2024. Armstead was voted to the Eurobasket.com All-Kosovo League Honorable Mention back in 2020. He is close to retirement age as a player. It may be one of the last seasons in his extensive career, which he may end at Sigal Prishtina.
He graduated from Wichita State in 2013 and this will be his 14th season in pro basketball. He played for other colleges such as University of Oregon and Chipola College.
