The Skyliners Frankfurt will have to do without Martina in the relegation battle in the future. As hr-sport learned, the Lithuanian will not extend his contract with the basketball Bundesliga club (BBL), which expires at the end of November. Against Ulm (Sunday, 3 p.m.), the already injured center will miss his last game as a Frankfurter.
With an average of 14.3 points per game, giving is the top scorer of the current bottom team from Hesse. The Skyliners will miss the physical play of the center, especially under the basket. Giving not only excelled as a scorer, he also grabbed an average of seven rebounds per game. A category in which the Frankfurters have problems this season. The Hessen are the fifth worst rebound team in the league.
Haven’t found a new club yet
The 28-year-old hasn’t found a new club yet. However, there are probably a few interested parties. The contract talks in Frankfurt are said to have failed because the Skyliners tried to reduce the terms of the original two-month contract.
At the club itself, there isn’t much that can be said about personal details. For the Skyliners, the process of contract extension or termination has not yet been officially completed, it said on Saturday when asked. So we can’t comment on that yet.
The next signing is in the offing
The Skyliners will probably have to recruit again in the relegation battle. It would be the second of four possible signings. Last week, shooting guard Marcus Lewis signed a contract with the Skyliners until the end of the season.
Now the center position is the new problem area for Hessen. Matt Haarms could not convince after a long injury break. Substitute Alexander Richardson is considered a great talent, but is only 19 years old and was also injured recently.
