Myles Hesson Fractures Ankle, Out 7 Weeks
Myles Hesson, seen here at Midnight Madness 2010, is expected to be out 7 weeks
Young British prospect and GB U20 baller Myles Hesson (1990 born) fractured his ankle last night in just his fifth game of the BBL season with the Essex Pirates. After playing just 8 minutes Hesson landed on one of the opposing team’s players’ feet whilst landing from a rebound attempt, adding injury to insult of the 93-44 rout Worcester ended up serving to Essex.
Twenty year old Rookie Hesson has been the surprise of the season for Essex and the BBL, averaging 14.5 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 steals 1.2 blocks through his four games with the Pirates (3 of which have been Trophy games), including exploding for 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals against the Milton Keynes Lions on October 2nd.
Known for his athleticism, the news will comes as a big blow for Essex, the team who have already been struggling competitively, failing to register a win in 5 attempts. Hesson is expected to be out for at least 7 weeks.
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.
