Kofi Josephs exploded for 49 points on Friday night for a new career-high in his first season as a pro, in Germany.

The Birmingham-born guard went 11-of-15 from 3-point range; shooting 74% overall from the field in a 107-98 win for Hertener Loewen.

Josephs also added six rebounds, six assists as well as three steals in an impressive display in Germany’s fourth tier.

His 49-point haul is believed to be a club record and the highest mark set in the Regionalliga this season.

“I knew that I was in my groove after the first bucket and my team-mates were finding me in positions to be successful,” he told Hoopsfix.

“My jumpshot felt good and I was constantly thinking about the next play and staying aggressive.

“I wanted to get a win since we lost to this team earlier in the season and it felt good to see shots go in that I’ve been working on outside of team practice.”

Josephs is averaging 17.7 points per game in 12 appearances for his side so far this season.

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.
