PlayerLandsdowne Departs Niners Chemnitz (Germany) Football Club
DeAndre Lansdowne, the seasoned 36-year-old point guard, is jumping ship from the Basketball Bundesliga team Niners Chemnitz, set to join local rivals Seawolves Rostock, according to Freie Presse reports. The contract for the upcoming season had been in place, but it's been mutually terminated.
Following a two-season stint in Chemnitz, Lansdowne claimed the Fiba Europe Cup in 2023/2024. Last season, the American player was toying with the idea of a fresh start, and now, he steps out as the last active foreign player, aside from long-term injured Canadian Aher Uguak.
Meanwhile, Saxony is prepping for a new look. Three fresh faces are heading to the court: Kostja Mushidi from BG Göttingen, Ty Brewer from USA, and Amadou Sow from Mali. These new additions to the Niners Chemnitz are bound to shake things up a bit.
While the Seawolves Rostock hasn't officially confirmed the signing of Lansdowne, they've been active in the transfer market, scooping up new talents. It seems the team is gearing up to give their opponents a run for their money. Keep an eye out for the latest updates in the ever-evolving world of basketball.
DeAndre Lansdowne, after a successful stint in the NBA, is shifting his focus to basketball in his hometown, presumably hoping to lead Seawolves Rostock to victories, just as he did in the Fiba Europe Cup. With Lansdowne's arrival, the Seawolves' roster looks poised to rival any team in the league, given their active transfers and the arrival of new talents.
