Flexicar Fuenlabrada Signs Prince Ali: Return to Primera FEB

Fuenlabrada, Spain – The Flexicar Fuenlabrada has re-signed guard-forward Prince Ali, the club announced on Friday. This marks Ali’s second stint with the Spanish basketball team, bolstering their perimeter offense ahead of a crucial stretch in the Primera FEB season.

The 29-year-traditional, who stands at 1.93 meters (6’4”), brings a familiar face and proven scoring ability back to the Fernando Martín arena. Ali previously played for Baloncesto Fuenlabrada during the 2022-2023 ACB season, averaging 12.7 points, 2 assists, and shooting 38 percent from three-point range in a half-season with the team. His return is expected to provide an immediate impact, offering versatility on both ends of the court.

Ali’s basketball journey began at UCLA, where he completed his collegiate career. Since then, he has developed his game extensively in Europe, with previous stops in the Primera FEB with Palencia, San Pablo Burgos, and Lucentum Alicante. He’s also experienced professional basketball in Poland, Argentina, and Egypt, demonstrating his adaptability to different leagues and playing styles. This international experience is a valuable asset for Flexicar Fuenlabrada.

During his time with Palencia in the 2021-2022 season, Ali made a significant impact, averaging over 13 points per game. His scoring prowess and ability to create opportunities for himself and teammates quickly made him a fan favorite. The team is hoping he can replicate that success in his second run with the club.

Interestingly, Ali will once again wear the number 44 jersey for Flexicar Fuenlabrada, the same number he sported during his previous tenure. This detail, as noted by Piratas del Basket, adds a touch of familiarity and sentimentality to his return. Fans will have a chance to witness Ali back in action this Sunday at 18:00 (6:00 PM CET) when Flexicar Fuenlabrada faces Hestia Menorca at the Fernando Martín arena.

The addition of Ali addresses a clear need for perimeter scoring and experience on the Flexicar Fuenlabrada roster. He’s a player who understands the league and the team’s system, which should allow for a quick integration. The team hopes his presence will elevate their offensive capabilities and contribute to a strong finish in the Primera FEB standings.

Flexicar Fuenlabrada’s official X (formerly Twitter) account confirmed the signing, welcoming Ali back to the club with enthusiasm. The post highlighted his previous contributions and expressed excitement for his return.

For fans following the Primera FEB, Prince Ali’s return is a noteworthy development. His proven scoring ability and familiarity with the team make him a potentially impactful addition. The upcoming match against Hestia Menorca will be a key opportunity to see how Ali integrates into the Flexicar Fuenlabrada lineup and contributes to their pursuit of success in the league.

The team will be looking to Ali to provide a consistent scoring threat and leadership on the court.
