Joventut Badalona is signing center Chinanu Onuaku for the 2023-24 season, the club announced. The 26-year-old big man will remain in EuroCup and play in Spain for the first time in his career with his new team.
Onuaku averaged 10.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and a competition-high 1.5 blocks in the 2022-23 EuroCup with Hapoel Tel Aviv. He had 10.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the Israeli Winner League.
