Assem Marei was picked up by Metropolitans 92, the French club announced Monday. The Egyptian power forward signed a two-month contract.

Miralem Halilovic, 29, being sidelined due to injury got the team based in Levallois-Perret back in the market and eventually landed Marei in France for the first time in his career.

The 28-year-old forward last played in Germany attached to Brose Bamberg. He registered 9.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per Basketball Champions League game, also put up 11.3 points per easyCredit BBL match.

His new team competing in the 7DAYS EuroCup signals his debut in the European club competition. France’s Jeep Elite Pro A will also be a first after playing in Germany, Turkey, and Lithuania during his pro career.
