The captain of Nigeria’s senior women national basketball team, D’Tigress, Adaora Elonu, has been named among the top five best performers in the group phase of the ongoing FIBA AfroBasket Women’s Championship in Cameroon.
FIBA in its citation described the Nigeria captain, Elonu as a leader, motivator, and on-court coach of the D’Tigress. “Though she appears on the quiet side, the 31-year-old is very composed and dedicated each time she is on duty for her fatherland. “The 1.85m forward, who plays for Spar Girona in Spain, is one player who is not particular about stacking up statistics for herself but the overall wellbeing of D’Tigress.
“Little did she finish the Group Phase with a respectable average of 11.5 points, six rebounds, three assists, and five steals from two games.”Apart from Elonu, others in the ‘Big Five’ list are Senegal’s Yacine Diop, Marina Ewodo of Cameroon as well as Soraya Degheidy and Mariam Coulibaly from Egypt and Mali respectively
