More on this storyline
Former NBA big man Serge Ibaka denied that there’s any agreement between him and Real Madrid or any other team. Ibaka, who just finished the season as German League champion with Bayern Munich, enters the offseason as a free agent. “No, come on! For me, it was disappointing that these rumors came out while I still was playing in the playoffs. I didn’t like that. It seems to be the way how things work here in Europe,” Ibaka said per Robert Heusel. -via EuroHoops.net / June 17, 2024

Following the signings of Xavier Rathan-Mayes and Andrés Feliz, which our website reported in recent days, we can now announce the Ibaka deal. -via Encestando / June 9, 2024
