The 23-year old guard, who grew up in Maccabi and spent five seasons with its adult team before leaving this summer to Germany, will try to help his team overcome a bad start to the season (Alba has a 3:8 record in the Euroleague).

“We have a tough game against an opponent who plays very well, especially at home,” said Giannis Sfairopoulos before taking off for Germany. “Although the results didn’t always go in Alba’s favor, it’s a team that plays good basketball. We have to be very energetic because we want to get back to playing positively after the loss in Piraeus”.

“We want to stay focused until the last second, both defensively and offensively, because Alba can be very dangerous,” Kameron Taylor added. “I know that a lot of yellow fans will be at the game, and this will provide us with extra energy.”
