Veteran NBA guard Spencer Dinwiddie<\/a> has officially parted ways with Bayern Munich, the German team announced in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Bayern, which competes in both the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the EuroLeague, Dinwiddie\u2019s contract was terminated in a mutual agreement. The 32-year-old was granted permission to travel to the United States prior to Christmas because a family member is dealing with a serious illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank the organization, the team, and the fans. Despite the recent challenging phase of the season, I felt very comfortable in Munich. Unfortunately, I am currently not in a position to play,\u201d Dinwiddie said in a statement.<\/p>\n

An 11-year NBA veteran, Dinwiddie signed a one-year, minimum-salary contract with Charlotte in July. Although the deal was fully guaranteed, he became the victim of a preseason roster crunch for the Hornets, who waived<\/a> him on October 16. He signed<\/a> with Bayern, his first international team, a week later.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more international items of interest:<\/p>\n

Former NBA big man Chris Silva<\/a> is moving from AEK Athens to Fenerbahce, as first reported by Turkish journalist Ya\u011f\u0131z Sabuncuo\u011flu (via Twitter<\/a>) and confirmed by Semih Tuna of Eurohoops.net<\/a> and Domantas Urbonas of BasketNews.com<\/a>. The 29-year-old forward\/center was thriving with the Greek team and reportedly received interest from multiple EuroLeague clubs before deciding to sign with Turkey\u2019s Fenerbahce, which won the EuroLeague championship last season.
\nFenerbahce will also be adding ex-NBA guard Nando De Colo, who has parted ways with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, according to an announcement<\/a> from the French team\u00a0(hat tip to Tuna of Eurohoops<\/a>). \u201cApproached by the Turkish club, Nando was keen to seize this opportunity, to which LDLC ASVEL did not object, wishing to respect the player\u2019s wishes. The entire club thanks Nando for his integrity and professionalism throughout these years spent at LDLC ASVEL and wishes him the maximum joy and trophies for the rest of his career.\u201d
\nSome European politicians have raised objections about the NBA\u2019s proposed European league, according to Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops<\/a>. January will be an important month for the new venture and for the EuroLeague, which is waiting to hear back from four teams \u2014 including Fenerbahce and ASVEL \u2014 about whether or not they will stay in the league in 2026\/27, per Aris Barkas of Eurohoops<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran NBA guard Spencer Dinwiddie has officially parted ways with Bayern Munich, the German team announced in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,210203,210204,590,32205,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-392883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-chris-silva","11":"tag-nando-de-colo","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-spencer-dinwiddie","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
