"I'm grateful to continue to be a part of this family. I don't want to be anywhere else next season and can't wait for the journey to start again. The mission in Munich is not over yet," Hunter said.

The 36-year-old center was on an expiring deal with a team, which he joined before the start of the 2021-22 season.

Hunter was one of Bayern's leading figures last season. In the EuroLeague, the veteran averaged 7.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 10.2 PIR over 35 games.

Moreover, the powerful 2.03-meter athlete discovered the shots from the distance, converting 37.5 percent of those (6/16). In the playoffs against FC Barcelona (2-3), Hunter completed his 250th game in the strongest continental league.

The big man transferred to the German powerhouse after two seasons in Tel Aviv.

With Olympiacos Piraeus, he went to a EuroLeague Final Four the first time in 2015, before he was able to win the crown with CSKA Moscow in his second final three years ago.
