RICHARDS OUT AS FINCH NAMES FINAL EURO TEAM
Ryan Richards has become the final player to be cut by GB head coach Chris Finch ahead of EuroBasket.
Performance Director, Chris Spice said he’d been impressed by Ryan’s performances this summer – and is optimistic about his future international career.
“Ryan has had a great summer with British Basketball starting back in June with the Under 20 programme. His great performances there and at the front of the senior camp meant he was still in the mix to the very end – which is a credit to his effort.
“If he continues to improve on the little things in his game, then he will have a lengthy international basketball career. We look forward to seeing him progress and we wish him well in his upcoming club season.”
It has also been confirmed that Dan Clark will be fit for he tournament.
The first round of EuroBasket will be hosted in Panevezys, where GB will take on the home nation Lithuania (31 Aug), Turkey (1 Sept), Spain (2 Sept), Portugal (4 Sept) and Poland (5 Sept).

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.
