Hukporti to head back to Germany ahead of NBA Draft

Melbourne United Next Star Ariel Hukporti is set to head back to Germany in hopes of helping his home-town team across the final portion of the season.

As part of a loan agreement, Hukporti will join MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg, who he played his junior basketball and first two pro seasons with.

This comes after a stellar season back from injury from Hukporti, where he led the league in total blocked shots, while finishing third in total rebounds.

Following his stint with MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, Hukporti will continue his preparations for the 2024 NBA Draft, which many have projected him to be selected in.
