Kaunas “Žalgiris” fans can relax – Thomas walkup and I should wear a green and white shirt next season.
According to Krepsinis.net, Chimki’s team in the Moscow region wanted to buy back the player’s contract and could do so until July 20. The reimbursement amount is 175 thousand euros. In the team trained by Rimas Kurtinaitis, Th.Walkupas would have taken the place of Chris Kramer, who came to Chimki from Vilnius “Rytas” last year.
However, in the final hours, Chimki withdrew from the race, the rescue expired and no other club attracted the American.
Eurohoops journalist Nikos Varlas also confirmed the player’s fate in Kaunas, according to who became clear after the Russian club’s withdrawal that Th.Walkup will spend the third season in Žalgiris.
The 273-cm-tall American, 27, scored 9.6 points in the Euroleague in 26 minutes, bounced 3.6 balls, made 5.5 assists and scored 12.7 utility points.
A similar exception was provided in Jocko Landale His departure, due to the attention of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Barcelona clubs in Barcelona, seemed much more realistic, but it did not turn out to be true either. However, there is no doubt that both sides have agreed to terminate the contract and this will be announced on Tuesday.
Interestingly, Joffrey Lauvergne has already been accepted to the Australian spot, so when J. Landale remained on the team, Žalgiris’ management would have had to solve new puzzles.
The 211-cm-tall, 24-year-old Australian scored 11 points (30 percent of three points), 4.4 rebounds, a pass and a profit score of 10.4 in 21 minutes in the Euroleague last season.
