This past season in the EuroLeague, Walden averaged 11.3 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 rebounds per game while shooting 41% from 3-point range with Crvena Zvezda Belgrade.

The addition of Walden will help fill the void left by Wade Baldwin, who has left Bayern and joined Spanish team Baskonia.

"Corey has been on our shortlist for a long time and he knows the Trinchieri system," said Bayern sports director Daniele Baiesi. "He is a great addition to our playmaking and also reinforcement in the defense against the ball. He is a basketball personality and an excellent team player - we are super happy that he is coming to us."

Before playing for Crvena Zvezda, Walden was a member of Partizan NIS Belgrade, Hapoel Holon, Filou Oostende, and Maine Red Claws. In the Israeli Basketball Premier League, Walden accumulated 11.3 points, 3.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 14.4 EFF over 21.9 minutes.
