Jarrell Eddie was unable to play SIG Strasbourg’s Basketball Champions League opener against Kalev / Cramo due to injury and he will be out for the next two to three months due to a lower back injury. The team found a replacement, signing a contract with Tony Crocker.

“We had to react quickly and it’s done. I am satisfied. Tony is a player with a winning character, strong in attack and we needed that kind of profile to replace Jarell’s talent. We were looking for a player who is not afraid to take on great responsibilities and also to be a leader in attack. Tony has proven in the past, and especially in the Euroleague, that he can take big hits. I saw him play for the first time in 2011. It was my first season as a coach and I still remember his match against us… Since then, I have followed his career and I am very happy that he joins our team. coach Lassi Tuovi said.

The 34-year-old spent last season in Australia with the Adelaide 36ers, averaging 10.8 points in 24 games. He has played for Hapoel Holon, Tofas, Khimki and Pinar Karsiyaka throughout his career.
