Former Connecticut basketball star Khalid El-Amin has made it back from an injury and will continue his lengthy professional basketball career overseas.
El-Amin has signed with Croatia’s KK Cibona for the next month, according to Sportando last week. Last season, he was a member of Lithuania’s Lietuvos Rytas, where he suffered a severe quadriceps injury – tearing the muscle off the bone – last May.
A member of UConn’s first national championship team in 1999, El-Amin was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2000. He played just 50 games in the league before taking his talents overseas for the past 10 years.
