Christofis set a season-high with 18 points against Norrkoping Dolphins back in October with two other games in double figures in scoring.

The Brighton native was previously MVP in leading Loughborough Riders to victory over Solent Kestrels in the 2019 National Cup final with 17 of his 24 points in a pivotal third quarter.

Christofis earned minutes on Leicester Riders’ BBL roster and played his final game at the Morningside Arena in a pre-season friendly against his former team, last summer.

Nassjo had a 10-23 league record last season with Boras named as champions, despite the early ending of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

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.
