Perry Ellis will be traveling to Germany in early August to begin his latest basketball adventure.
The 6-foot-8, 24-year-old former Kansas standout forward, who played professionally in Australia and Italy last season after a rookie campaign in the NBA G-League in 2016-17, has signed a one-year contract with Oliver Wurzburg, a pro team based in Wurzburg, Germany.
Ellis — he just finished a stint with the Milwaukee Bucks in the Las Vegas Summer League — heads to Europe while not abandoning his dream of someday playing in the NBA.
“I’m focusing on Germany. I want to go there and play well.
