Asvel has today terminated the contract with John Egbunu, a 29-year-old Nigerian center who joined the French club from Gaziantep.
John Egbunu has finally reached the EuroLeague level after seasons spent in Varese, Hapoel Jerusalem, and Gaziantep. However, he didn’t adapt well, leading the club under the guidance of head coach Pierric Poupet to decide to end their collaboration prematurely.

This is the second player with whom Asvel has terminated the contract during the season, following the earlier release of Frank Jackson when Gianmarco Pozzecco took over as the head coach of the French club.
This season, the Nigerian played in 19 EuroLeague games, averaging 2.9 points and 2.5 rebounds. The situation is quite similar in the LNB Pro A league, where Egbunu had 2.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15 games played.
