Basketballghana.com can report Ghanaian-American Small Forward/ Shooting Guard Bashir Ahmed scored 15 points in a league loss for Romanian side Targu Jiu.
Targu Jiu suffered a 79-87 loss to Oradea in Round 17 of the 2021-2022 Regular Season that had Ahmed add a rebound and an assist in 26 minutes to his scoring tally as a starter.
Ahmed was one of three Targu players to score in double figures led by Morgan Malik’s 24 points but the rest of the team combined for just 19 points in the contest.
After scoring six of 10 two point shot attempts and converting two of three free throw attempts, Ahmed went scoreless after attempting a trio of three point shots.
Targu Jiu has just five wins in 16 games this season and is likely to miss out on the post season ranked 13th on the 16 team standings ahead of the team’s matchup against third ranked Voluntari on January 29.
In his first season, Ahmed is averaging 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
