Auguste, who holds both the American and the Greek citizenship and celebrated his 29th birthday on July 8, went to Europe after his college career at Notre Dame. He joined Panathinaikos OPAP Athens in 2017-18, making his EuroLeague debut, before he returned to the Greens for another one-year stint in 2020.

In the meanwhile, Auguste had played two seasons with Galatasaray in the Turkish ING League and the Basketball Champions League. He finished the 2021-22 campaign with Slovenian team Cedevita Olimpija, averaging 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18 EuroCup matches and in 18 minutes of playing time.

Bursaspor, who had previously strengthened their squad with the additions of Yigitcan Saybir, Ahmet Duverioglu and Enes Taskıran, have found their starting center in Auguste, who returns to Turkey for his third overall stint, after his debut season with Usak Sportif in 2016-17.

Bursaspor have been drawn in EuroCup Group A, also featuring Umana Reyer Venezia, Mincidelice JL Bourg, ratiopharm Ulm, Joventut Badalona, U-BT Cluj-Napoca, Prometey, Lietkabelis Panevezys, Germani Brescia and Auguste's former club, Cedevita Olimpija.
