The Merlins bring in Tremmell Darden until the end of the season. The American is 42 years old and knows the BBL from five years at the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg and the Syntainics MBC.
He had previously played in Turkey, Belgium, Australia, France, Spain, Lithuania, Greece, and Italy.
He actually wanted to end his career after last season. He played his last game for the MBC against Crailsheim, scoring nine points in a 79:69 win.
But he didn’t really want to get used to being a pensioner. That’s why he’s been keeping fit over the last few months.
In the fall he even trained at FC Bayern Munich for three weeks.
Darden proved last season that he can still do it. He was on the floor for almost 41 minutes in the thriller against Ratiopharm Ulm. Scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. In the end, Ulm won 128:122 after double overtime.

Darden is the oldest player in the league – he’s used to it. Two years ago he said: “I call everyone in the league a young guy. I know I’m the oldest.”
At that time, the people of Ludwigsburg even postponed their meeting after the games – so that Darden could do his stretching exercises.

Despite all the stretching, his big dream, the NBA, will probably not work out. During his time at Ludwigsburg he said. “As crazy as it sounds, the dream of the NBA is still somewhere in the back of my mind – until I hang up my shoes.”
He was already 39 at that time.
