In four league appearances, DVO averaged 4.8 points and 3.0 assists before his release and now makes a return to the Netherlands following a spell at Den Bosch last season.

Nigel Van Oostrum – three years his senior – has been with Zwolle since 2016 and helped the club win its first domestic Championship in beating Donar Groningen in the finals.

Zwolle currently have a 9-1 record at the top of the league, while they have also advanced to the second round of the FIBA Europe Cup with the next stage starting next week.

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.
