James Okonkwo pulls down 10 rebounds for Great Britain in loss to Portugal

Posted Jul 8, 2023
It was a tough day for James Okonkwo’s Great Britain team in a nearly empty gym in Skopje, North Macedonia, far from the atmosphere he’ll see in the ACC next season. The British team lost to Portugal 63-56 Saturday on the second day of pool play at the FIBA U20 European Championships Division B. Portugal led by as many as 16 in the fourth quarter.
