NBA Rumor Central: Gigi Datome staying overseas despite offers
Gigi Datome last played in the NBA for the Celtics at the end of the 2015 season.Italian forward Luigi Datome, who spent last season playing for Turkish team Fenerbahce Ulker, recently told Italy’s Tuttosport that, despite interest from NBA teams, he will remain in Turkey for the 2016-17 season.
The 28-year-old Datome last played in the NBA in 2015 for the Boston Celtics, for whom he averaged 10.7 minutes and 5.2 points per game while shooting 47 percent from beyond the arc. Gigi joined Fenerbahce Ulker last summer and apparently will remain with the team for at least another season as he chases a Euroleague title.
