FC Bayern Munich has signed forward Isiaha Mike, who returns to the country where he made his professional debut. The deal is for the next two seasons.
Mike (2.00 meters, 28 years old) averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 23 EuroLeague appearances last season with Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. He shot 63.2% on two-pointers while playing 15 minutes per game. Last season was Mike's first in the EuroLeague after he earned All-EuroCup First Team honors the season before.
"Moving to Munich is a logical step, because after talking with Coach Gordie it was clear that I bring exactly the skill set that is needed there," Mike told the Bayern web site. "After an injury, I was sidelined at the start of last season, and things never went as planned afterward. I could never really be myself: an all-rounder who can shoot and make decisions on his own, who can play both the '4' and the '3', defend multiple positions on defense, and - above all - bring a lot of energy to the court."
A college basketball standout at SMU, Mike began his professional career in Germany with NINERS Chemnitz, where he spent two seasons before moving on to JL Bourg-en-Bresse in France. Mike helped Bourg reach the 2024 EuroCup Finals. Known for his defensive versatility and physicality, Mike now becomes another weapon in Bayern’s frontcourt rotation.
