BAXI Manresa has added a key piece to its roster, announcing the signing of American guard Eli Brooks for the remainder of the season. Brooks (1.85 meters, 27 years old) joins the Spanish club from Gladiators Trier, which sits in first place in the German League.
The combo guard has averaged 15.3 points and 4.8 assists through 10 games, helping Trier to an 8-2 record. He has been worth a further 20 points and 6.0 assists in the German Cup games.
Brooks played college basketball at the University of Michigan and made his professional debut in the G League with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in 2022. The following year he came to Europe for the first time with Palacanestro Trieste in Italy and spent last season in Germany with EWE Baskets Oldenburg before moving to Trier.
The signing comes on the heels of starting point guard Hugo Benitez exiting last week's EuroCup game with a hamstring injury, which Coach Diego Ocampo later said could cause him to miss several games.
