Strasbourg announced on Thursday the recruitment of American winger Tony Crocker (1.98 m, 34) as a medical freelance writer following the injury of Jarell Eddie, who will be operated on for a lumbar pathology and unavailable for two to three month.
Crocker is a basketball player in Europe, which he has been surveying since 2010. Passed by Hungary, Finland, Cyprus, Greece, Israel and Turkey, he played in the Euroleague in 2018-2019 with Khimki Moscow. After playing in Australia (Adelaide) last season, he was free to contract.
“We were looking for a player who is not afraid to take on big responsibilities. “
Gassi coach Lassi Tuovi.
“Tony is a player with a winning character, strong in attack and we needed that kind of profile to replace Jarell’s talent,” Alsatian coach Lassi Tuovi said in a statement. We were looking for a player who is not afraid to take on big responsibilities and also to be a leader in attack. Tony has proven in the past, and especially in the Euroleague, that he can take big shots. I saw him play the first time in 2011. It was my first season as a coach and I still remember his match against us … Since then, I have followed his career and I am very happy that ‘he joins our team. “
In addition, Bourg engaged the American interior Hayden Dalton (2.03m, 25), who was averaging 11.7 points and 7 rebounds in the Champions League with Czech club Nymburk last season.
