Former Piston Luigi Datome leaves NBA for Turkish League

Former Pistons forward Luigi “Gigi” Datome will be leaving the NBA for Fenerbahce of the Turkish League according to Sportando.com.

Datome later confirmed the move via a statement on his Facebook page:

At the end of my 2 years in the NBA my targets for the Free Agency were:
To play at the highest level of basketball and to fight for important results while being a real piece of the team as far as contribution and role in the rotation.
I want to thank all the Nba teams that offered me a spot on the roster but as I said many times I was looking for a place where I could be an important piece of the rotations.
