CLARK GIVEN CAPTAIN’S STEER
Dan Clark says it’s a “great honour†after he was named as Great Britain’s new captain.
As expected, the London-born forward, 30, was confirmed as Kieron Achara’s successor in the role ahead of Thursday’s EuroBasket pre-qualifier against Austria in Manchester.
“It’s a great privilege,†he said. “I’ve been lucky enough to be under some good captains over the years with Drew (Sullivan) and Kieron. A lot of other veteran players that you learn off. Hopefully I can pass some things onto the younger guys.â€

Surrey Scorchers’ guard Josh Steel will get his debut in the contest as GB look for a convincing win to open up their three-team group.
“More than anything it’s just to come together,†Clark admitted. “In previous games, when times have got tough, we’ve fallen apart. Everyone has gone by themselves.â€
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.
