The New Zealand Breakers have parted ways with import Freddie Gillespie, releasing the centre from the remainder of his NBL25 contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cFreddie approached us and requested a release. While bittersweet, it was an opportunity that Freddie wanted to pursue and we support him. We look forward to watching his success in the future,\u201d Breakers CEO Lisa Edser said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank Freddie for his contributions to the club on and off the court and wish him the best with his new team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gillespie extended his thanks to the Breakers for the opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve built great and lasting relationships with my teammates, the Breakers staff, and our incredible fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m truly proud of everything we\u2019ve accomplished together this season. As I look ahead, I\u2019m excited to begin the next chapter of my journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gillespie averaged 6.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks a game during nine appearances for New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The Breakers will fill their vacant roster spot ahead of their next game, on November 28.<\/p>\n
Gillespie has been previously linked with Italian team, Olimpia Milan, according to reports internationally, while former NBA big Tacko Fall looms as a potential replacement, having spent time with the club over the past month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
