Shippensburg University men's basketball alumnus Dustin Sleva recently reached an agreement to join Spanish side UCAM Murcia CB for the 2023-24 season.
 
UCAM Murcia CB competes in the Spanish first division, known as Liga Endesa (or Liga ACB). It is widely considered the top domestic league in Europe. They will also compete in the Basketball Champions League during the 2023-24 season, a continental cup competition that features top clubs from throughout Europe.
 
"I'm very happy to sign and play in Spain and to compete at a high level," Sleva said. "It was important for me to take the next step in my career to play in Liga Endesa and in the Basketball Champions League. It is something that I have dreamed about playing in since I arrived in Europe."
 
Sleva joins UCAM Murcia CB after finishing the second half of last season on loan with Basketball Lowen Braunschweig in the German first division.
 
Sleva averaged 16 points and 6 boards for Braunschweig, joining the German club in the midst of a relegation battle and helping them easily secure an additional season in the German top flight.  
 
He also had previous stops at French club Paris Basket since his graduation from Shippensburg in 2018.
 
Sleva remains the Raiders' all-time leading scorer (2,071 points) and rebounder (1,140 rebounds). During his time at Shippensburg, Sleva's success on the hardwood helped lay the foundation for the SU men's basketball's current run of success and established the Raiders as a perennial PSAC contender. He helped the Raiders ascend from a 13-win team during his freshman season to campaigns of 27 and 25-wins in his final two years, including a PSAC title-winning season in 2016-17.
