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.

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.
