Matthew Bryan-Amaning Leads New Team to Victory with Double-Double on Debut

By Bradley Gains on May 22, 2015

Matthew Bryan-Amaning posted a double-double on his debut in the Dominican Republic LNB to help his new side, Soles de Santo Domingo to an 84-81 win in their season opener.

The GB forward only flew out to the Latin American country a few days ago, and finished with 20 points, and 11 rebounds to make an instant impact.

MBA was put straight into the starting line-up, and scored most of his points in the second half to guide his team to a narrow victory.

Last year’s MVP at the inaugural Hoopsfix All-Star Classic continues his global tour in his professional career having had spells in France, Serbia, Germany, Turkey, Mexico as well in the UK.

The 27-year-old had the perfect ending to the season in Mexico recently, having guided Soles de Mexicali to the playoffs title, and claiming the Finals MVP award in the process.

Soles SD make a winning start to the season with two more games to be played over the weekend to complete the opening round.

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.
