Celtics SF Gigi Datome inks deal with Turkish club

Small forward Gigi Datome, who saw the first action of his NBA career last season with the Celtics, has decided to return to Europe, signing a three-year deal with the Turkish club Fenerbahce, per the Boston Herald. 

Datome 5.2 points in 10.7 minutes over the 18 games he played in Boston, but was part of a roster squeeze as the team addressed its frontcourt. 

"I want to thank all of the NBA teams that offered me a spot on the roster, but as I said many times, I was looking for a place where I could be (an) important piece to the rotations," Datome wrote on his Facebook page.
