By the end of the year, he was in Italy (Vanoli Cremona) and found himself in Israel (Ironi Ramat Gan) later in 2010.

Forbes finally got his chance in the NBA in 2010 when he played with the Denver Nuggets. A year later, he joined the Toronto Raptors. In 2012, he left for China (Zhejiang Lions). Before last season, he signed a non-guaranteed deal with the Brooklyn Nets but was cut and wound up with the Springfield Armor of the D-League.

Forbes is attempting a comeback, but is currently mulling over an offer to play in China once again.
According to Shams Charania of Real GM, the Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers are interested in Forbes.

The Pacers obviously have a need for wing players after Paul George’s injury so bringing in Forbes makes sense. The Grizzlies would also use another swingman.

In his two NBA seasons, Forbes averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 13.5 minutes per game. He’s shot 43.4% from the field, 34.0% from beyond the arc and 70.2% from the free throw line.
