After spending one season in the BKT EuroCup with JL Bourg-en-Bresse, Jordan Usher left France but will stay in the competition to try improving even more.
The 27-year-old small forward is the newest signing of Turk Telekom Ankara, that already signed several American players such as Kyle Allman Jr. and Jaleen Smith.
Last year, coached by the French national team’s head coach Frederic Fauthoux, he put up 10.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in Bourg-en-Bresse.
