That's a real blockbuster! FC Bayern celebrate transfer coup | OneFootball

FC Bayern has made a big move in the basketball market and pulled off a real coup: Spencer Dinwiddie, longtime NBA pro, is transferring to Munich. The 32-year-old brings over 600 games of experience from the world’s best league and is expected to lead Bayern to new successes.

Veteran with NBA Experience

On Thursday, FC Bayern officially announced that Spencer Dinwiddie will play for the German champions in the future. The American signed a contract until the end of the season, with no release clause.

Dinwiddie looks back on an impressive NBA career: 621 games, including stints with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, and most recently the Dallas Mavericks, where he played alongside Luka Dončić. His versatility and basketball IQ made him a sought-after combo guard in the NBA – and now a beacon of hope in Munich.

Especially exciting: Dinwiddie will reunite in Munich with an old acquaintance. Bayern coach Gordon Herbert and the guard already worked together during the 2019/2020 season, when Herbert was a consultant for the Brooklyn Nets.

The coach expressed his excitement about the signing: “Spencer is an electrifying player, he can score and create for others and had great years in the NBA. With his size, he can play at the two, one, and three positions and also defend in a versatile way. It’s fantastic that we’re bringing this high-profile player to Munich.”

Herbert also emphasized that Dinwiddie’s high basketball IQ and personality make him a perfect fit for the team.

Bayern Basketball Gears Up for the EuroLeague

With the signing of the US star, FC Bayern has completed its roster for the current season. Dinwiddie is expected in Munich over the weekend and will undergo the mandatory medical examinations before joining team training.

For the German record champions, this transfer is a clear statement: they want to compete at the very top in both the EuroLeague and the BBL. Dinwiddie brings everything needed for that – experience, creativity, and leadership qualities.
