Post-Game Triple


  1. Carter continues Player of the Month form

Robert Carter Jr. of the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters was named EASL’s January Player of the Month last week.

He continued his strong form tonight against the Taipei Fubon Braves.

Carter scored a game-high 21 points, helping his team win their second straight game entering the Final Four in Cebu, Philippines in March.

  1. First win in five for Anyang

This win is Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters’ first victory in their last five games across the EASL and the KBL.

While they currently hold a disappointing 13-25 record in the KBL, Anyang finishes the EASL Group Stage with an impressive 4-2 record.

They will look to carry this momentum into the Final Four in Cebu, the Philippines, in March, where they will face Korean rivals Seoul SK Knights in the semifinals on March 8.

The two teams met in both the EASL Champions Week Finals as well as the KBL Finals in 2023. Anyang took home both championships last year. Next month, they'll be playing to defend their EASL title.

  1. Patton stars for Fubon

The Taipei Fubon Braves started their fifth import of the year this evening as Justin Patton made his EASL debut.

The six-foot-11 center recorded a double-double tonight, with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Patton, the 16th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft for the Chicago Bulls, signed with Fubon on January 13. In five P. LEAGUE+ games, he is averaging 8.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and one block per game.

Michael Singletary, Chris Johnson, Ihor Zaitsev and Stephen Zimmerman are the other four imports who starred in at least one EASL game this season for the Braves.
