The American Duke Deen was only committed to the rest of the season by the Frankfurt Skyliners at the beginning of April. Now he’s gone again.
A few days after his transfer to the Frankfurt Skyliners, Duke Deen returned to the USA without the knowledge of the Bundesliga club. As the club announced on Friday, the 23-year-old lacked an unexcused on Thursday at an appointment and training. His consultant then announced that Deen was already on his way to his home country.
“This behavior is completely unacceptable and a professional athlete is not worthy of,” said Skyliners Managing Director Thomas Sulzer about the incident, “we reserve the right to take all legal steps, including financial reclaims, of incurred costs in the next few days.”
The table-16. had only signed the American on April 2 for the rest of the season. The Guard was not used in the two games against Weißenfels and Oldenburg.
