After three seasons in Greece, Hopson returned to the United States, signing with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA G-League. He had a standout season with the Skyforce, averaging 19.7 points per game and earning a spot on the All-NBA G-League Second Team.

In 2019, Hopson signed with the Israeli team Hapoel Jerusalem, where he continued to showcase his skills as one of the top players in Europe. He helped lead Hapoel Jerusalem to the Israeli League championship in 2020 and was named the Finals MVP.

Throughout his career, Hopson has proven himself to be a versatile and talented player, capable of playing multiple positions and contributing in a variety of ways.
