TURKISH SWITCH FOR GABE
Great Britain star Gabe Olaseni has signed for Turkish League side Bursaspor.
The 27-year-old centre moved from German side Wurzburg where he spent last season.
Olaseni is set to feature for GB in Saturday’s EuroBasket pre-qualifier against Kosovo in Manchester.
But he has set strict criteria for his next move.
“Just a good opportunity to play,” he told a recent episode of the MVP Cast. “Winning is very important. Being on a good team with a good group of guys. That’s the most important thing. I feel I can live anywhere. So the country is not as important as the situation.â€
Great Britain guard Tarik Phillip is also Turkey-bound, signing for Tofas Bursa after he was waived by the Washington Wizards.

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.
