Mönninghoff leaves Gonzaga

Men’s basketball: Mathis Mönninghoff, a 6-foot-7 forward who saw limited playing time in two seasons at Gonzaga, has decided to leave the program and sign with a professional team in Germany, Bulldogs assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said.

Mönninghoff, of Ibbenbüren, Germany, played just 134 minutes in 23 appearances as a sophomore last season. He made 12 of 28 3-pointers and scored 38 points.

Mönninghoff made eight starts and played in 30 games as a freshman, averaging 4.3 points and 1.5 rebounds. He made 33 of 72 3-pointers (45.8 percent).

He’s the third Zag to exit the program after last season. Forward Ryan Spangler transferred to Oklahoma and Mathis Keita will play at Indiana (Pa.) University, an NCAA Division II school.
