The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Thursday that they have signed two-year NBA G League-experienced big man Jordan Minor for the remainder of the CEBL season. After a short six-game stint in ProB France, Minor has spent the last two seasons in the G League with the Mexico City Capitanes, Birmingham Squadron (New Orleans Pelicans affiliate), Memphis Hustle (Memphis Grizzlies affiliate), and Long Island Nets (Brooklyn Nets affiliate). He most recently averaged 7.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 15.3 minutes in 20 games with the Capitanes to close out the G League campaign. Through 77 games, Minor posted five double-doubles and has grabbed more offensive rebounds than defensive throughout his G League tenure (151:130), as he has consistently used his 239-pound physique to outmuscle opponents near the basket. The Kingston, Massachusetts native will look to bolster the skill that the Honey Badgers already possess to crash the glass effectively, as Brampton currently leads the CEBL in offensive rebounds with 230. “Jordan is a physical player with a high motor,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “His physical tenacity and willingness to defend will provide a much needed boost. We’re looking forward to welcoming Jordan to the team for our playoff push.” Minor spent his senior season of college at the University of Virginia, where he teamed up with current Phoenix Sun Ryan Dunn and reached the ACC Tournament semifinals with a 23-11 record. He was able to tally 135 points over 31 games with the Cavaliers, which then allowed him to make the jump to the pros. Before joining Virginia, Minor was one of the standouts of the Merrimack College program, spending four years competing in the Northeast Conference. He broke out in the 2022-23 campaign where he led the Warriors to their first ever NEC championship by averaging 17.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.3 assists, and 1.4 steals. Leading the NEC in rebounds per game, blocks (59), blocks per game, and offensive rebounds (82), while ranking second in points per game and field goal percentage (.519), Minor was awarded the Conference Co-Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, and was nominated to the All-NEC First Team. “Jordan is a proven competitor who impacts the game in ways that don't always show up in the box score,” said Honey Badgers Head Coach Alex Cerda. “Rebounding, defending multiple positions, protecting the rim, and doing the little things that help teams win.” The Brampton Honey Badgers will begin their final road trip of the season tonight, July 23, at the Merlis Belsher Place against the Saskatoon Mamba and then take on the Winnipeg Sea Bears on Saturday, July 25. Stream all the action live on CBC Sports, CBC Gem, CBC Sports YouTube, and CEBL+. ### About the Brampton Honey Badgers One of the original franchises of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL), the 2022 CEBL Champion Brampton Honey Badgers proudly call the CAA Centre home.
