6'8'' forward Phil Missere has signed for the Leicester Riders to fill their void of big-guys.
Technically Missere, who holds a European passport, was brought back as a temporary replacement for injured English big-man Andrew Bennett. But he now also has to fill in for American power forward Anthony Simpson, who left for a contract in Korea.
Bennett is expected back sometime after the Christmas break, and it is unclear whether Missere will remain at the club once he returns. Riders coach Rob Paternostro is also looking for an import player to replace Simpson. Although it is unlikely, even if a deal is signed, that paperwork will be completed for Riders next game at home against Guildford.
