Teddy Okereafor has signed his first professional contract after joining KK Parnu, in Estonia, on a short-term deal until December.

The GB Senior guard recorded 15 points and nine rebounds on his Baltic Basketball League debut in a 64-72 home defeat.

Okereafor averaged 5.2 points and 4.0 assists (team-high) per game during this summer’s EuroBasket 2017 qualifying campaign.

The 23-year-old graduated from Rider University after averaging 12.1 points per game in his Senior year with a career-high of 38 points scored against Marist College, in January.

Okereafor has made a couple of appearances for NASSA in NBL competition this season including a 30-point outing against Thames Valley Cavaliers in the National Cup.

Parnu have had a number of injuries to start their campaign and are currently 2-2 in the Estonian top-flight and 0-3 in the Baltic League in a group that features teams from Latvia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan.

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.
