Virtus Bologna has announced the signing of free agent center Marcus Slaughter. Confirmed by Sportando and other news outlets, Slaughter arrives in Italy after spending three years in Turkey playing for Darussafaka Dogus in the Turkish Basketball Super League.

Having played professionally since 2006, Slaughter has been in a number of countries in his career, but this will be his first year playing in Italy. Last year, the San Diego State product averaged 3.9 ppg and 3.3 rpg, but it will be his experience and leadership that he brings to Virtus Bologna, which is once again joining Serie A, the top division in Italy, after winning the 2017 Serie A2 Championship last season.
