Netherlands - Max DiLeo extends his contract with Bundesliga basketball club Oldenburg
Basketball-Bundesligist EWE Baskets Oldenburg has extended the contract with Captain Max DiLeo. As the club announced on Wednesday, the 31-year-old American will enter his third season with the Lower Saxons. "I know Max well, and we all know how important he is for the team culture," said Baskets trainer Pedro Calles about the Guard. The Spaniard had already worked with DiLeo at Veolia Towers Hamburg.
In the previous season, the American appeared in only 15 Bundesliga games for the Oldenburger due to injuries. "Max has a special significance for the team that goes beyond sports capabilities. Having him as an extended arm, who represents the identity of the team and the values of the club, has great value for us," said Sport business manager Hermann Schüller.
