Lance Monych of the Laredo Bucks has left the team to play overseas for the rest of the season. His departure from the team is a bit of a surprise, and no further information has been given as to why he chose to leave so abruptly, leaving fans and teammates to speculate. I won’t venture any guesses, but it certainly was a bit of a surprise to hear. The Bucks have placed Monych on team suspension for the remainder of the season. There are some stats and a little more info to be gleaned from the press release the team issued below:
