Am Donnerstag verabschiedete der FC Bayern Basketball offiziell Meister Devin Booker (34). Der beste Center der Easycredit BBL soll in den nächsten Tagen bei Euroleague-Rivale Olimpia Mailand präsentiert werden. „Wir danken Book für seinen großen Einsatz im Bayern-Jersey“, sagt Sportchef Dragan Tarlac (52). „Er war bis zuletzt zu 100 Prozent committet trotz unserer epischen Saison und hat eine fantastische Runde gespielt.“
Bookers Nachfolger in München ist jetzt offenbar auch schon gefunden.
Nach übereinstimmenden Medien-Berichten soll es sich dabei um Wenyen Gabriel (28) handeln.
[–>Der 2,06-Meter-Mann debütierte vergangene Saison für Maccabi Tel Aviv in der Euroleague. Und machte ausgerechnet gegen die Bayern mit 16 Punkten und 8 Rebounds sein bestes Spiel! Im Dezember ging er für 350.000 Dollar Ablöse zum griechischen Top-Klub Panathinaikos Athen. Vor seinem Wechsel nach Europa sammelte Gabriel in fünf Jahren in der NBA insgesamt 164 Einsätze für Portland, New Orleans, Brooklyn, die LA Clippers und LA Lakers sowie die Memphis Grizzlies.
Bei den Lakers spielte Gabriel an der Seite von Superstar LeBron James (40) und Weltmeister Dennis Schröder (31)!
Nun rückt der Wechsel zu den Bayern immer näher: Ebenfalls am Donnerstag verabschiedete „Pana“ den südsudanesischen Nationalspieler …
Zwei Wochen nach seiner Geburt war Gabriels Mutter mit ihm vor dem Bürgerkrieg nach Kairo/Ägypten geflohen. Zwei Jahre später durfte die Familie mit Unterstützung der Vereinten Nationen in die USA ausreisen.
Heidelberg holt Held aus Holland
Überraschungs-Halbfinalist MLP Academics Heidelberg sieht sich bei der Suche nach neuen Spielern in anderen Gefilden um. Der Sportliche Leiter Alex Vogel (34) wurde im Basketball-Zwergstaat Holland fündig – und verpflichtete für kommende Saison Flügelspieler Samuell Williamson (25) vom Meister und Pokal-Sieger Heroes („Helden“) den Bosch.
„Sam spielt uneigennützig, bewegt sich abseits des Balles sehr gut, ist athletisch und defensiv extrem aktiv“, beschreibt Vogel den Allrounder. „Er muss nicht scoren, um der Mannschaft zu helfen. Dazu kann er auf verschiedenen Positionen spielen.“
In seinem ersten Profi-Jahr in Europa wurde Williamson in der belgisch-niederländischen BNXT-Liga zum Spieler des Jahres UND Defensiv-Spieler des Jahres gewählt!

Kumpel-Hilfe für Chemnitz
Dass Corey Davis (27) bei den Niners Chemnitz Aufbau-Spieler Nummer zwei hinter Rückkehrer Kaza Kajami-Keane (31) werden soll, war schon als Nachricht rum. Nun gab’s die offizielle Bestätigung.
„Dank seiner Geschwindigkeit, Wurfstärke und Passfähigkeiten wird sich Corey perfekt mit Kaza ergänzen“, beschreibt Trainer Rodrigo Pastore (52) den 1,85-Meter-Mann. „Zugleich kann er auf sehr hohem Niveau verteidigen und nachdem Corey die letzten Jahre bereits viel Erfahrung in anderen europäischen Topligen sammelte, ist er bereit für den Schritt zu einem BBL-Playoff-Anwärter und EuroCup-Teilnehmer.“
Davis ist gut mit dem Chemnitzer Europe-Cup-Helden Wes Van Beck (29/Petkim Spor) befreundet und fragte ihn vor der Unterschrift über den Standort aus. „Ich habe nur Gutes über die Niners, die Stadt Chemnitz und vor allem die euphorischen Fans gehört. Deshalb freue ich mich darauf, ein Teil der Familie zu werden und meine Qualitäten für diesen spannenden wie etablierten Basketballclub aufs Feld zu bringen.“
In der abgelaufenen Saison spielte Davis in Italien bei Vanoli Basket Cremona. Bevor er nach Sachsen kommt, spielt er noch bei den Vancouver Bandits – die reguläre Saison in Kanada läuft bis zum 10. August.

In Würzburg wachsen jetzt Türme
Offiziell ist nun auch die Tatsache, dass die Fit/One Würzburg Baskets zur Außenstelle der Veolia Towers Hamburg werden. Denn die Franken schnappten sich mit Brae Ivey (28) und Johnathan Stove (29) gleich beide Top-Scorer der Türme (mit einem Ein-Jahres-Vertrag).
Ivey wird Nachfolger von MVP Jhivvan Jackson (26) auf der Aufbau-Position und entschied sich vor allem wegen Trainer Sasa Filipovski (50) für die Unterfranken. Sportdirektor Kresimir Loncar (42): „Brae war in der letzten Saison einer der Kandidaten auf den MVP-Titel. Er ist ein echter Anführer und hat kein Problem damit, den entscheidenden Wurf in einem Spiel zu nehmen.“
Samar sortiert sich bei Alba aus
Bei Alba Berlin konnte sich das ewige Talent Ziga Samar (24) nie durchsetzen. Darum einigte man sich während der Saison auf ein Leihgeschäft mit dem spanischen Top-Klub Dreamland Gran Canaria, um nach vielen Verletzungen Spielpraxis zu bekommen. Jetzt steht fest: Der Aufbauspieler wird nicht zurückkehren!
Der Slowene nutzt eine Ausstiegsklausel in seinem Vertrag und wechselt fest zum Champions-League-Konkurrenten. Alba-Sportchef Himar Ojeda (52): „Zunächst freuen wir uns für Ziga, dass er die Möglichkeit bekommt, seine Karriere auf Gran Canaria fortzusetzen, um sich dort weiterzuentwickeln. Wir unterstützen seine Entscheidung und wünschen Ziga alles Gute für die Zukunft.“

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
