Okeke, 26, is set for his first taste of European basketball following a five-season NBA career with stints at the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, and most recently Cleveland Cavaliers, who recently traded a Nigerian, amassing a total of 203 games in the league.

Speaking to club media, Okeke said, “It’s going to be a new experience, it’s something very exciting for me. What I want is to start and win, and continue to have fun, playing basketball. Over the years, I’ve prepared my body to withstand whatever it takes. I feel like right now it’s stronger than ever, I’m in really good shape. I wouldn’t say I’ve reached my peak, but I’m close.”
