Austin Wiley Set to Join EuroLeague Club Bayern Munich After Leaving Hapoel Jerusalem
Austin Wiley, the center who recently parted ways with Hapoel Jerusalem by exercising a contract exit clause, is reportedly close to signing with Bayern Munich, marking his debut in the EuroLeague. According to Greek journalist Aris Barkas, Wiley is expected to join Bayern Munich for the upcoming season, stepping up to Europe's premier basketball competition for the first time.
Last season, Hapoel Jerusalem offered Wiley a two-year contract extension worth $2.2 million, which he was willing to accept. However, after leaving the team midway through the playoff semifinals due to security concerns, the club withdrew the offer, meaning he would have remained only under his existing contract had he stayed.
In the previous season, Wiley averaged 10.1 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in the EuroCup, with similar stats in the domestic league, scoring 10.2 points and grabbing 9.2 rebounds per game. His move to Bayern Munich represents a significant step up as he prepares for his first EuroLeague campaign.
