SYRACUSE -- Former Syracuse shooting guard Eric Devendorf is returning to the basketball court, but it won't be in the United States.
Devendorf was in the stands for the Orange's win over Robert Morris Wednesday night in the Carrier Dome. The always fiery, sometimes controversial guard said he will be heading off to Israel in a couple weeks to play for a professional team. He said he is in town for two weeks to see his family.
Devendorf declared for the National Basketball Association draft last spring even though he had one year of college eligibilty left. He went undrafted in both the NBA and NBDL drafts. The NBDL (National Basketball Developmental League) is the official minor league of the NBA, similar to the International League's relationship with Major League Baseball.
Devendorf ranks 14th on Syracuse's career scoring list and third in career three-pointers.
