Niels Giffey is officially returning to Germany. Bayern Munich announced that the 31-year-old signed a contract until the end of the 2024-25 season.
“I am happy to return to the BBL and the EuroLeague. This is, of course, a special step for me and also an emotional one that I have thought through for a long time. Munich is a very good option for me, also because of the longer-term perspective. I’m especially looking forward to playing with guys like Paul, Nick, Izzy, and Andi, who I know well” Niels Giffey said.
Giffey made his debut in the EuroLeague playing in Berlin for ALBA. Then he moved to Zalgiris. He averaged 6.9 points and 2.5 rebounds.
In other news coming from Bayern Zan Mark Sisko is still out of action. The 25-year-old Slovenian, who has been under contract in Munich since December 2019, had to take a break after three competitive appearances at the beginning of the season due to a thumb injury and an illness. Now the point guard will no longer be available for the time being for personal reasons.
