Dionte Christmas joins Konyaspor

Dionte Christmas (196 cm, Temple’09) has signed on with Turkish club Konyaspor Basketbol Kulubu (Turkey-BSL) this 2016. Christmas recently parted ways with Greek club AEK Athens (Greece-A1) last month. He played just four games for them and averaged 2.8 ppg and 1.8 rpg. Things did not work out between him and the team and the move was mutual. Christmas moved to AEK Athens after starting the 2015-16 season with Hapoel Holon (Israel-Winner League). Dionte played six games for them before his departure and was able to average 5.7 ppg and 1.8 rpg.

In 2014-15 his last few days in the NBA were spent hopping from the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans. After his eventual release, Dionte headed to Europe where he signed with Paris-Levallois (France-Pro A). He played 27 games for them in the French league and averaged 10.5 ppg and 2.4 rpg. He also played 14 games for them in the Eurocup where he posted averages of 6.3 ppg
