Valencia released Damien Inglis at the midway point of a two-year contract. The Taronges used a team option for early termination.
The decision was announced on Friday.
Per the press release: “Valencia Basket has executed the existing clause in the contract of the power forward Damien Inglis to finish the agreement that the Club had signed with this player also for the 2024-25 season. Hence, the Taronja entity parted ways with Inglis.
The Club wants to thank the professionalism, dedication and work carried out by Damien during the time he has defended the Valencia Basket jersey. It wishes him the best in his future, both professionally and personally.
Damien Inglis arrived at Valencia Basket in the summer of 2023 from Dreamland Gran Canaria and has played 70 games with our team with a score of 7.7 points with 52.2% in 2-point shooting, 5.1 rebounds and 2 assists for 9.8 PIR in almost 21 minutes on average on the court.”
Averaging 8.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per contest, Inglis debuted in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague during the one year at Valencia. At 14-20 in the Regular Season, his side fell three wins shy of a berth in the Play-In Showdown.
Previous continental experience combined between the Basketball Champions League and 7DAYS EuroCup. With AS Monaco and Gran Canaria, he was crowned EuroCup champion in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
In 2015-16, after being selected with the 31st overall pick of the 2014 NBA draft, he logged 20 games played in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks.
