According to Murcia, such a request is not in line with the terms of the contract between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the player&#8217;s unilateral decision and the potential damage it could cause to the club&#8217;s sporting project, UCAM Murcia announced that it has initiated legal proceedings before FIBA and the relevant authorities in order to protect its rights and interests.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old guard from Cincinnati was one of the biggest revelations of the latest ACB season, earning a spot in the All-ACB First Team alongside players such as Jean Montero and Mario Hezonja.<\/p>\n<p>DeJulius averaged 17.7 points and 4.3 assists in 25 minutes per game, shooting 46% from the field, 37% from three-point range and 77% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<p>His outstanding season has naturally attracted interest from several important clubs, but any potential suitors will now have to negotiate with UCAM Murcia first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"pt\">\ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfa\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddfc \ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf9<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Astros?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Astros<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7nHAhSRt78\">pic.twitter.com\/7nHAhSRt78<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UCAM Murcia (@UCAMMurcia) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UCAMMurcia\/status\/2078132672421875837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 26-year-old guard from Cincinnati was one of the biggest revelations of the latest ACB season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":506425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"rumors":[134],"typology":[21],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-506426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acb","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/07\/david-dejulius-photo-fiba-1.webp","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506426"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=506426"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=506426"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=506426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
