Pops Mensah-Bonsu Signs With Cajasol Sevilla Until Season’s End

By Sam Neter on March 4, 2013

Great Britain star Pops Mensah-Bonsu will shortly be returning to the court after signing with Spanish ACB side Cajasol Sevilla for the remainder of the season, the club announced today.

Mensah-Bonsu, who is yet to play this season as a result of undergoing surgery after the London 2012 Olympics, comes in to replace American forward Latavious Williams who has been forced out with a left knee injury.

The 29-year-old forward is due to arrive in Seville on Tuesday and will undergo a medical examination before joining the team. If all goes well, Pops will make his Liga Endesa debut on Sunday, at home against Blusens Monbus Obradoiro.

It will be his fourth stint in the ACB; he played a single game for Granada at the end of the 2007/08 season, spent some time with Joventut Badalona the following year and then joined Caja Laboral during pre-season ahead of their 2010/11 campaign but left the club to join the New Orleans Hornets in the NBA.

Pops joins GB teammates Dan Clark (Asefe Estudiantes) and Devon Van Oostrum (Caja Laboral) in the ACB.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
