Uzoh is “very excited” to play in the BAL, and hopes to be involved on and off the court long term. “When it was announced a couple of years ago, I felt like it was going to be an opportunity to grow the game in Africa. I was like, ‘Well, it’s a no-brainer for me,’ ” Uzoh told The Undefeated. “Obviously, I wanted to be a part of it, whether it’s a player or coach and executive at some point in the future, and here we are today. “There’s the opportunity to be a pioneer to the African youth on a stage with our play. There will be players in college and Europe that will want to come here and play.”
