Already sitting in the top four of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings, FC Bayern Munich added depth and experience to its roster on Thursday by inking power forward James Gist and shooting guard D.J. Seeley for the remainder of the season. Bayern also announced that Malcolm Thomas has left the club and playmaker T.J.
