Times Sport understands that he was approached by both APR and REG but opted to join the latter.

"I signed with REG,” Gray told Times Sport in a brief message.

The local basketball transfer window is officially open since the conclusion of the league in September and will run through the second round of the 2023/2024 season of the league.

Teams are looking to strengthen their squads to challenge for the title and represent Rwanda at Basketball Africa League (BAL), an NBA-backed continental competition that happens every year, featuring top clubs across Africa.
