Dan Clark & Luke Nelson Battle it Out in the ACB

By Sam Neter on January 31, 2018

Two Great Britain teammates battled it out in the ACB on Sunday, as Dan Clark and Luke Nelson squared off in the Liga Endesa.

The competition seemed to bring out the best in each other, as both players exploded for some of their best games on the season; Dan Clark had 25 points and 4 rebounds along with a huge clutch three down the stretch (5-for-7 threes, 10-for-16 overall), whilst Luke Nelson finished with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, going 5-for-6 from beyond the arc, 8-for-11 overall.

Clark is now averaging 11.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22 minutes per game, with Nelson averaging 8.6 points, 1.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25 mins per outing.

It was Clark’s Kipuzkoa side that ended up with the 94-88 road victory, improving to 8-10 in 12th place in the table, as freshly-promoted Real Betis dropped to 4-14 at the bottom of the league table.

Box score.

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.
