Avellino decided to keep Adam Hanga, Laboral Kutxa had to look elsewhere and signed former Anadolu Efes player Scotty Hopson until the end of the season. Also, Maccabi Tel Aviv extended the contract of Sylven Landesberg until 2018.
Laboral Kutxa wanted Hanga back, as he was given on loan to the Italian club. Despite missing the play offs, Avellino decided not to let Hanga go. However, the Hungarian is still a part of Laboral Kutxa with a contract until 2017. Α player was needed in the rotation and Hopson is getting the chance to return to Europe.
For Maccabi the new Landesberg deal had been rumored for quite a while and one day after the end of the team’s Euroleague season, the official announcement was made.
