Anderson has worn the Anadolu Efes jersey for over four years, since 2018. The 33-year-old athlete won the back-to-back Turkish Airlines EuroLeague (2021, 2022) and a couple of Turkish League (2019, 2021) titles with the Turkish powerhouse.

Both sides decided to part ways on June 17th.

The American veteran averaged 3.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.5 PIR over 28 EuroLeague games (13 minutes) this past season.

During his stint with Anadolu Efes, Anderson embraced a much-different supporting role than at the start of his career.

The small forward led his conference in scoring in college, was a double-digit scorer during one of his seasons in the NBA, and was among the top 10 scorers in the EuroLeague in his first season in the competition (2014-15) with Zalgiris Kaunas.

UCAM Murcia will participate in next season's Basketball Champions League.
