Trento tabs scorer Anthony Lamb

The forward was sixth in the Australian League in scoring last season

Dolomiti Energia Trento announced on Friday that it has signed forward Anthony Lamb for the 2024-25 season. Lamb (1.98 meters, 26 years old) will make his first appearance in European basketball with Trento. Last season he played for the New Zealand Breakers in the Australian NBL, where he averaged 19.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game, though he missed the end of the season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in February. Lamb was sixth in the league in scoring.

Lamb was a college basketball star at the University of Vermont, where he was twice named the American East Conference Player of the Year. He split his first three professional seasons between the NBA and the G-League. After playing for the Houston Rockets in 2020-21 and the San Antonio Spurs the next season, Lamb averaged 6.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 62 games for the Golden State Warriors in 2022-23. He won the 2022 G-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

“I am delighted with Anthony Lamb signing with us. As soon as there was an opportunity to try to catch him, we stopped everything we were doing, because he is a special player,” Coach Paolo Galbiati said on the team’s website. “If he hadn't had the injury that stopped him last season, it would have been unthinkable to have him with us. We had a really interesting chat, he knew a lot about us and I was fascinated by the knowledge he has of the game. He has worked and is working hard to be ready to make his contribution to the team and to pursue his and our dreams from the beginning of the season.”
