Okereafor led GB in assists with 4.0 per game throughout the EuroBasket 2021 pre-qualifiers as well as putting up 7.0 points having played all eight games to help secure qualification.

The 26-year-old is set for his third season in Greece having also played for Kymis the previous year as well as spells in Finland and Italy.

Iraklis earned promotion to the top-flight after winning the playoffs in the second division having finished 24-6 in the regular season. The A1 league will not feature Euroleague side Olympiacos after they were relegated following controversy in the playoffs last 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.
