RIDERS DUO OUT FOR YEAR
Leicester Riders will be without Mo Walker and Raheem May-Thompson for the remainder of the season.
Walker pulled up in the home fixture versus London Lions earlier this month and after scans revealed a hamstring tear, the American will see a specialist on Monday and undergo surgery on Tuesday. May-Thompson was injured in practice ahead of the season, rupturing his achilles, and is also due to see a specialist this week.
“We expect both players to make a full recovery, but the timing of both makes it unlikely they will feature in this campaign,†commented Riders MD Russell Levenston.
“We really feel for both Mo and Raheem – they are two talented players and great guys in the group.â€
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.
