MYLES HESSON GETS LATE CALL-UP
Myles Hesson has been handed a late call-up into the Great Britain men’s squad for training camp in Houston.
The Mersey Tigers forward received a shock late summons on Saturday and is expected to report for training on Monday, four days after Chris Finch’s squad began workouts.
Birmingham-born Hesson, a former GB Under 20 international, admitted his surprise on a Twitter post.
He said: “Can’t believe it but I’m flyin out to Houston in the morning for GB Mens Training camp #honouredandblessed”
British Basketball has yet to confirm the full squad in Houston, with Ben Gordon among a handful of players named in the original party who are absent.
The Detroit Pistons guard, according to reports, has scheduled a personal appearance in the Motor City later this month, casting doubt on his participation at the Olympics. Team sources say he has yet confirm when, or if, he will arrive.
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.
