The 202cm veteran, who captained Singapore for the past two seasons, was set to play with the Slingers again this campaign before the club withdrew from the NBL.

Olympic rookie Patrick Mills - a smash hit in Beijing - is keeping his options open about nominating for the NBA Draft.
The baby of the Boomers squad, who turned 20 just two weeks ago, was still undecided whether he would opt to go into the NBA draft after his second year in college.
“It would be good to finish the four years and get a degree at the end of it, but if bigger and better things do come around, I’ll weigh the options,” Mills said.

It’s increasingly likely that Ater Majok will be cleared by first semester and a member of the Huskies for all of next season. Majok, a 6-10 forward thought to have NBA potential, has finished his school work in Australia and is only awaiting grades and for everything to be processed by the NCAA.
Much of the needed paper work has been handed over to the NCAA clearinghouse and things appear to be moving along smoothly. There was a fear that Majok’s matriculation could be delayed until December because of timing issues related to the Australian school system’s schedule and potential delays in dealing with a foreign transcript.
Some Majok footage here.
