Eric Boateng Signed to Lakers Training Camp Roster

By Sam Neter on September 26, 2013

Great Britain big man Eric Boateng has been signed to the Los Angeles Lakers training camp roster, it was announced on Wednesday.

Per team policy, terms of the agreements were not released, as Boateng will be looking to fight his way into a contract for the coming season.

It won’t be Boateng’s first stint at an NBA training camp, having played with Denver Nuggets in 2010 where he had some solid performances in pre-season before being waived.

The Arizona State University graduate, has split time over the last three seasons playing for the Idaho Stampede and the Austin Toros of the NBA’s Development League in addition to playing internationally for the Greek Basket League team Peristeri and the New Yorker Phantoms Braunschweig in Germany last season where he averaged 7.7 points and 5.8 rebounds on 62.4% shooting in 20 minutes per game.

The 6-10 former Brixton Topcat averaged 1.5 points and 2 rebounds per game for GB this summer at Eurobasket in Slovenia.

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.
