Rwandan Basketball side Orion BBC has completed the signing of American Deshaun Morman and South Sudanese Lualwadang Ayii from South Sudan as club beef up squad before the basketball league resumes.

Both players are forwards.

Club president James Mutabazi told Times Sport the two players have already arrived in the country and will feature for the team that will play the second round of the league which starts on April 22.

Morman, 29, has previously featured for US colleges including Cincinnati Bearcats and Townson University.

In 2022, he played for Cameroonian outfit Forces Armées et Police (FAP) during the second edition of the Basketball Africa League (BAL).

Lualwadang Ayii formerly played for UAE Mpac Sport Team in Dubai and Cobra the Sport at the BAL.

Orion is among two Rwanda Basketball league newcomers hoping to not only stay in the league next season but also make it to the playoffs this season.

Last month, the club also signed American Jared Harrington who will both play but also be a member of its board.

Orion finished the first round of the league in the seventh position with 16 points.
