Olimpia Milano has reached a multi-year agreement with Devin Booker, a 2.05 center, born in Whitmire, South Carolina, on February 28, 1991, coming from Bayern Munich.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVIN BOOKER<\/strong> <\/em>– \u201cI\u2019m very excited to come to Milan. It will be a new challenge for me; it will also be a great opportunity of growth for myself and my family. I\u2019m looking forward to meeting everyone there, players and staff, and getting started with the new season. Let\u2019s have some fun!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HIS CAREER<\/em><\/strong> – Raised in South Carolina, Booker played at Union High School in Union, South Carolina, and eventually for four seasons (from 2009 to 2013) at Clemson, also in South Carolina. His professional career began in Nancy, in France, in 2013. During the season, however, he transferred to Bourg in ProB where he won the championship and was named MVP of the championship series. After another season in Bourg, he moved to Chalon. In 2016\/17 he was named French League\u2019s MVP. At the end of the season, he moved to Bayern Munich where he remained for three years, winning two German championships (2018 and 2019). In 2017\/18 he was also included in the All-Eurocup first team. In 2018\/19 he made his debut in the EuroLeague (8.9 points, 3.4 rebounds on average). In 2019 he moved to Khimki Moscow where he remained for two seasons (11.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in the first year; 13.1 and 5.7 in the second). In 2021, he landed at Fenerbahce in Turkey, immediately winning the 2022 Turkish championship. After two years (in the EuroLeague, he averaged 7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds over 60 games), he returned to Bayern Munich where he won the German title in 2024 and 2025, the German Cup in 2024. In the EuroLeague, at Bayern, he averaged 9.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game during the 2023\/24 season; 14.9 and 4.7 rebounds in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 In two seasons in the Eurocup, Booker averaged 12.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. In college, he played for one year with his brother Trevor Booker who later became an NBA first-round pick. At Clemson, he played 128 games in four years averaging 9.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
