Givova Scafati has its say on David Logan's farewell to basketball

"With David Logan there's been no rift. È left becauseé he chose not to play basketball" anymore. This was said by Givova Scafati patron Nello Longobardi in a video posted on the Campania club’s social channels to shed light on the affair of the American basketball player.

The choice è was communicated only with a whatsapp to the general manager and the sports director. "Until a few hours ago, I had no idea what the reasons were", added Longobardi, who, però has been in contact with the athlete in the last few hours. "He has shown affection and esteem to me, my son and the whole societyà".

"He did not è leave for money", clarifies Longobardi. "&Eegrave; left becauseé he had his good reasons that led him to stop playing. Davidè s story was an important one, è a player who left a mark on the European scene. We were honored to have him here", stressed the Givova Scafati patron, recalling Logan’s contribution last year in winning salvation.

"We are sorry he left, maybe he could have said goodbye in a different way. He could have said goodbye to the coach and the team who lit up just seeing him. But I understand the message he sent me, we had a great relationship and I reiterate that there'è was no rift". Givova Scafati, meanwhile, è immediately ran for cover and announced the signing of American Gerry Rouce Blakes II.
