On the same day it signed point guard Zabian Dowdell, Unicaja and sharpshooter Taquan Dean agreed to go their separate ways, the club announced. An agreement to terminate the player's contract was reached by mutual consent, leaving him free to sign with any other club. Dean was Unicaja's second-leading scorer with 11.7 points per game in nine Euroleague games for Unicaja this season – seven of them as a starter. His best game was a 30-point outburst against Entente Orleanaise in Week 3 when he shot 7 for 12 from downtown. In a press release, Unicaja thanked Dean for "his professional behavior and efforts" and wished "him well in his personal and professional future."
