The latest set of Basketball Champions League additions welcomes 23-year-old forward Allan Dokossi to the top club continental competition of FIBA Europe.
JDA Dijon penned Dokossi, the team announced Friday. Coming off five straight campaigns based in Fos-sur-Mer, he completed the jump to the Champions League. A Le Mans youth product, carrying both French and Central African Republic passports, he earned international caps in the Qualifiers of the 2023 FIBA World Cup and 2021 AfroBasket. Moving to La Jeanne at the club level, new teammates extend to Jacques Alingue, Dylan Affo Mama, Robin Ducote, David Holston, Gregor Hrovat, Cameron Hunt, and Jonathan Rousselle.
Following up on signing Kyle Allman Jr. and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, Darussafaka Lassa re-upped Can Korkmaz for the next season and signed 26-year-old point guard Ridvan Oncel. Appointed as the new head coach, Yakup Sekizkok is in charge of the team located in Istanbul heading to a fourth consecutive continental run in the BCL.
In contrast to his younger brother Jacob Patrick switching from MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg to VCU and the NCAA, Johannes Patrick will stick around for yet another campaign with the German club, as announced. The 21-year-old point guard logged 23 games played in the Champions League over the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, Qualifiers outfits BG Gottingen inked former Northern Colorado standout Bodie Hume to a contract for the 2023-24 season, Telenet Giants Antwerp tabbed 24-year-old Jackson Kreuser, and CSM Oradea retained 28-year-old Erick Neal for the next season.
