Baden-Württemberg: Failed medical tests: Giants get Garrett

Ludwigsburg (dpa/lsw) - The MHP giants Ludwigsburg made another change to the playmaker position shortly after the start of their pre-season preparation. The American Markell Johnson, who came from the Lithuanian club Pieno Zvaigzdes Pasvalys, failed the medical tests. The Swabian basketball Bundesliga team announced this on Tuesday. The 23-year-old will leave the Swabians again. Instead, they signed American Billy Garrett. The 27-year-old last played for the Polish club Czarni Slupsk. In 2019 he played four games for the New York Knicks in the North American professional league NBA.
