FC Bayern Munich made another addition to their backcourt. The Bavarian club announced the signing of the German national team and former Ratiopharm Ulm guard Andreas Obst.

According to the press release, Obst signed a two-year contract until the summer of 2023.

“To play for FC Bayern is a great honor for me,” Obst said. “I have known Andrea (Trinchieri) and Daniele (Baiesi) for years, they helped me to take first steps in basketball. Now I will have the opportunity to play in the EuroLeague for the very first time, which played a major role in my decision.”
