Therefore, Hansbrough went to Europe in the summer of 2011 and joined the Bundesliga promoted Bayern Munich .

But even here he did not find the role he wanted, and after a few weeks it was agreed to terminate the contract.

However, he was rarely used and moved the following year to the Spanish club CB Gran Canaria . For the 2014/2015 season, Hansbrough returned to the USA and switched to the NBA Development League . Via Entry Draft , he was assigned to Grand Rapids Drive .
