South East Melbourne Phoenix were informed overnight that Yanni Wetzell would be exercising his European out clause and he will now be released from his contract with the club.
“Although we are disappointed that Yanni will not be with us for next season we are happy for him personally and will continue to support his journey from afar,” Phoenix CEO Tommy Greer said.
“In our short history, the Phoenix have always prioritised player development and pathways and will continue to support players in furthering their careers.
“We are proud of the culture we are building within the club and will continue to strive to be a destination club for players not only in Australia but all over the world.
“It’s easy to talk about supporting players and allowing them the chance to develop, but it’s much harder when it means you have to say goodbye to a talented player like Yanni.”
Wetzell said the last few days had been stressful as he weighed up his options, but praised the Phoenix for their understanding.
“I am extremely thankful to have had the opportunity to form a relationship with the S.E Melbourne Phoenix family. I am disappointed to not be suiting up for the Phoenix this year, however, I felt that this was an opportunity that could not be passed,” Wetzell said.
“I am very grateful to all the coaches and front office for being so supportive and accommodating with this decision, I wish the team all the best in the upcoming season.”
Phoenix Head Coach Simon Mitchell, while disappointed to lose Wetzell, wished him all the best.
“As a club, we are genuinely happy for Yanni and look forward to watching him chase his dream of eventually playing in the NBA. Yanni is a great young man and I’m confident our paths will one day cross again.” Mitchell said.
The Phoenix is already in talks with potential replacements.

The London Lions have revealed 6’10” British forward, Shane Walker as an additional strengthening of their squad as they prepare to battle on two fronts.
With the Basketball Champions League qualifiers looming and the British Basketball League season looking to be compressed, Walker makes a strong deep squad even stronger. After a stellar period with the Leicester Riders, Walker excelled in Sweden last term for Koping Stars.
Contributing 8 points and 6 rebounds in 20 minutes of action, Walker hit 50% from the floor and 37% from behind the arc. Koping were strongly placed in third position as the season was cancelled. A graduate of Loyola MD in NCAA division One in 2012, the versatile forward has experience across Europe in Greece, France and Germany, whilst also capturing the BBL Championship and Playoff crowns amongst others.
“I’m Back!” were Shane Walker’s words, “I am extremely excited to play in London this year, I’ve always had a respect for the organisation and have admired the strides they have taken in recent years. Of course it will be a little different this time around as my time in the UK is usually related to my success in Leicester. So I’m even more motivated to continue that success and bring Championships to the capital.
The organisation has done an amazing job putting this team together and the support around the players is top notch. Speaking from experience I can say that every player is dedicated to making this season a special one and we’re putting in the work every day. It’s a good feeling to be part of the Lions family.”
Lions Head Coach, Vince Macaulay added, “Clearly Shane has the game to excel at a high level, his length and athletic ability are great and his shooting at that position adds another dimension. I have been impressed by his willingness to learn and his desire to get better. We are happy that Shane’s experience will also be a factor on our European journey.”
Fans will get to see the team for the first time on the 15th of September, when Basketball Champions League opponents, Neptunas Klaipeda will be the visitors
