After averaging 11.9 points per game in the 2023-24 edition of the FIBA Europe Cup with the Rostock Seawolves, Tyler Nelson moved up to the Basketball Champions League via Kolossos H Hotels.
Shortly before launching the 2024-25 campaign, the Greek club announced the addition of the former Fairfield standout on Thursday.
Nelson, 29, landed in Europe with the Seawolves in the second-tier league of Germany in 2020. Since 2022, he competed in the easyCredit BBL. Between 2018 and 2020, he played in the G League with the Greensboro Swarm and Texas Legends.

On the first continental assignment in team history, the Rhodes outfit is in Group C of the BCL Regular Season. Lasting original La Laguna Tenerife alongside Karsiyaka and Saint-Quentin are the opponents in a six-game double-legged round-robin schedule.
Amida Brimah to Manresa
On the way to Group G of the Regular Season, BAXI Manresa recently secured the services of 30-year-old Amida Brimah for the next two months. An injury to Bodian Massa led to the arrival of the Ghanaian center.
