Tyreese Perry-Huggins has received a call-up as a replacement in the Under-19 Men’s game to make his debut at the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic.
The 6’8″ power forward – who spent last season at US prep school Star Athletes Academy – fills the absence of Myles Hosten on Team Black (full rosters, here), and will take to the court at Crystal Palace on Sunday 26th May.

Perry-Huggins previously played at Copleston/Ipswich before the move to the States, and has represented GB at junior level – competing at the Under-18 European Championships last summer with averages of 4.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game across seven appearances.
“It feels great to be recognised as one of the top players in the country,” said Perry-Huggins. “I’m looking forward to the game and high level competition.”
Tickets are still available to catch Perry-Huggins and the rest of the top Under-19 junior talent in action, HERE.
