Jordan Spencer is heading overseas for his second season as a pro after signing with German Pro-A side Schalke 04.

The former GB Under-20 won the BBL Championship and BBL Cup titles with London Lions last season, whilst making the BBL’s All-British Team of the Year.

Spencer averaged 11.8 points and 6.1 assists per game including a season best of 38 points coming against London City Royals in March.

The guard – who turns 25 next month – won the NCAA Division II Championship title at Augustana and returned to play for the Lions having been an academy product when they club was based in Milton Keynes.

Spencer formed a deadly back-court partnership with two-time league MVP Justin Robinson in the capital and now departs to Germany.

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.
