Former BYU player Trent Plaisted's basketball journey in Germany ends after team folds

The German league is widely thought to be the most stable so for that to happen in Germany is completely insane. —Trent Plaisted

Former BYU big man Trent Plaisted is a basketball player without a team.

The nine-year pro played just 11 games with Phoenix Hagen in the German BBL before the team folded up shop because of financial difficulties.

It was something he wasn't expecting.

"The German league is widely thought to be the most stable so for that to happen in Germany is completely insane," said Plaisted, who signed in Germany because it was a stable place for his family, and a good place to live.
