D’Tigers power forward Chima Moneke has quelled rumours making the rounds linking him away from Spanish Liga ACB side Baskonia, revealing that he is already preparing for the 2024/25 season.
Moneke was one of Baskonia’s standout players last season and his performance had caught the attention of top clubs in Spain and other European countries leading to rumours and concerns from the Baskonia fans that he might be prized away from the team.
The former Sacramento Kings player has, however, come out to debunk the unverified news and revealed that he has no intention of leaving the club as he is already preparing for the coming season.
“I genuinely don’t know who is making up all these rumors, but they’re getting tiring. I’m a Baskonia player, and I’m really excited for this season. I spoke to Coach Laso yesterday, and I think we have a chance to do something special this season,” the power forward tweeted.
