ratiopharm ulm reacted to Christoph Philipps’ injury and signed Sindarius Thornwell. The winger played for Orlando Magic last season.
Jaron Blossomgame, Semaj Christon, Cristiano Felicio and now Sindarius Thornwell: ratiopharm ulm has again a player with an NBA background in the squad. The Ulm team signed Thornwell because Christoph Philipps will be out for a few months with a shoulder injury.
His failure hurts Ulm, said Thorsten Leibenath, because “in my eyes he is our best defender. We are all the happier that we were able to find a top-class replacement in Sindarius Thornwell, who can not only set accents in defense, but will also give our young team stability due to its variability in its offensive game. “
Thornwell has completed 160 major round games in the NBA in his career. After the Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans, the 26-year-old most recently wore the Orlando Magic jersey. In seven games last season, the 2017 second-round pick averaged 3.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals.
The Ulm team started the season with four foreign players. After Karim Jallow, a German player, was injured at the beginning of the season, the Swabians were able to recruit a foreign professional in Justin Simon without anyone having to sit out. This is how the people of Ulm have reacted again.
