Andrew Lawrence Signs for Italian A2 Side Givova Scafati

Great Britain point guard Andrew Lawrence has joined Italian Serie A2 side Givova Scafati until the end of the season.

Lawrence played his last game in the FIBA Europe Cup for Sigal Prishtina on Tuesday night scoring 18 points in 29 minutes.

“I enjoyed my time with Prishtina, especially in the European competitions. I’m looking forward to the new challenge in Italy with Scafati”, reflected Andrew.

“I’m excited about the move and can’t wait to get started.”

Scafati’s Patron Nello Longobardi commented on the signing: “Lawrence is a great talent, he also demonstrated it last night with the shirt by Sigal Prishtina against Demir Insaat. He was the leading player in his last match in the Fiba Europe Cup. ”

Scafati are currently 6-4 in third place in the A2 West league standings.

Lawrence averaged 8 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 assists across GB’s FIBA World Cup 2019 Qualifying games against Greece and Estonia.

“We need to be converting those tight games into wins but the game in Leicester we showed some fight to comeback the way we did.

“A slight injury cut my playing time in the game in Estonia but again there were enough signs to suggest we can get results in the group. We just need to put the words into action now.”

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.
