Quinn Ellis hits another game winner for Trento in EuroCup

By Sam Neter on November 30, 2023

Quinn Ellis continues to have a breakout season with Aquila Basket Trento, hitting his second game winner of the year in the dying seconds in EuroCup action.

With the score tied at 67 and 4.2 seconds remaining, Trento inbounded to a cutting Ellis who zipped to the basket, double clutched in the air before finishing at the hoop with 0.9 seconds left as Aris’ hail mary from half court bounced off the back of the rim.

The 20-year-old finished with 10 points, four rebounds and five assists, as he is now averaging 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and just short of a steal in 20 minutes per game across nine outings.

Five weeks ago, the guard from Sheffield had a 13-point, 10-assist double-double while knocking down a floater at the buzzer to give Trento a win over Lietkabelis.

This summer, Ellis declared for the NBA draft before withdrawing his name. He will become auto-eligible next year.

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.
