Butler is playing again!!
Shawnee High School graduate Jamar Butler has signed with a team in the Turkish Basketball League, according to a news story posted on the web site eurobasket.com on Monday.
The former Ohio State point guard began the season with an Italian pro team, Eldo Caserta, but asked out of his contract after three games because of a disagreement with his coach. His agent John Spencer at first said he would be going to Turkey to play for a different team than the one whose roster he now appears on. A few days later Spencer told The Lima News that Butler had agreed to a contract to play for a German pro team, the Koeln 99ers, and was in Germany.
Butler scored three points and had two assists in 20 minutes in his first game for his current team, Mutlu Aku Selcuk Univeritesi Konya, according to eurobasket.com.
