DeAndre Lansdowne Goes from Niners Chemnitz to Seawolves Rostock
City's Recipes Push Out Local 9ers of Chemnitz - Leaves Landsdowne from Niners Chemnitz (alternative: Niners Chemnitz says goodbye to Landsdowne)
Let's talk about the latest shakeup in the Basketball Bundesliga! DeAndre Lansdowne, the 36-year-old point guard, has decided to ditch Niners Chemnitz and join their rivals, the Seawolves Rostock. According to the "Freie Presse," this move is due to mutually terminating Lansdowne's contract with Niners, even though he had another season left.
You know, Lansdowne spent two seasons in Chemnitz, and during that time, they managed to bag the Fiba Europe Cup in the 2023/2024 season. Last season, the American was considering a departure, and now he's bidding farewell as the last active foreign player, aside from the long-term injured Canadian, Aher Uguak.
But don't worry, Chemnitz still has some new additions to be excited about: Kostja Mushidi (Germany), Ty Brewer (USA), and Amadou Sow (Mali) are all set to join the team.
DeAndre Lansdowne wasn't exactly jumping at the chance to stick around, though. It seems there was some bad blood between him and Chemnitz's head coach, Rodrigo Pastore, during the last season, which contributed to the surprising decision to cut ties. With his veteran status and leadership skills, Lansdowne signed a "retirement contract" with Seawolves Rostock, which the club is thrilled to have. The sports director at Rostock pointed out that Lansdowne's experience, leadership qualities, and professionalism were essential for their ambition to advance to the next level. In short, DeAndre Lansdowne is exactly what Rostock needs to sail forward with a solid captain at the helm.

- Europe
- Cultural Capital
In the BB, the departure of DeAndre Lansdowne from Chemnitz opens doors for vocational training opportunities, such as vocational training in sports management, basketball coaching, or even sports journalism, taking advantage of Chemnitz's status as the 2025 European Capital of Culture. Meanwhile, Lansdowne's new team, the Seawolves Rostock, could potentially benefit from basketball-related vocational training programs to strengthen their roster and achieve their goal of advancing to the next level in the BB.
