GB call up for Okereafor and Mockford
Thursday, February 4th 2021
Teddy Okereafor and Ben Mockford have been named in the 24-man squad for Great Britain’s final window of FIBA EuroBasket 2022 Qualifiers in February.
The four Group G games are set to take place in a central Covid-19-secure bubble in Podgorica, Montenegro.
The GB Men have now won nine of their last 11 games with their only two losses coming on the road against sixth ranked France and 26th ranked Montenegro. France lead Group G with a 3-1 record, while Great Britain and Montenegro are tied for second place.
Great Britain must finish ahead of either France or Montenegro in order to qualify for next summer’s EuroBasket championship.
The 24-man squad includes Flyers Academy graduates Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Deane Williams, who receives a first call up to the national team, alongside an unchanged coaching staff, featuring Andreas Kapoulas.
Okereafor could be set to tie the record for most consecutive international games played if he gets the nod against Germany and France. The current record of 49 consecutive games has stood for 45-years and was set by Bill McInnes in 1976.
GB play Germany on 20 February, and France on 22 February. The final 12-man rosters will be confirmed ahead of each game.
