The Akita Northern Happinets have terminated forward Dan Fitzgerald's contract, the bj-league club announced on Friday.
The Marquette University product struggled to knock down shots since joining the team in December. Fitzgerald, who drained 146 3-pointers and shot 34.6 percent from beyond the arc for the Sendai 89ers last season, was 20-for-107 (18.7 percent) on 3s in 16 games for the Happinets.
The 28-year-old Fitzgerald also shot 13-for-39 from inside the arc for Akita (17-13), which plays host to Sendai (11-19) this weekend.
