“Joy is a 6-foot-4 lefty who has point guard skills and has terrific length for a guard his size,” ORU head coach, Paul Mills, said.

“He can handle, shoot, pass and has a phenomenal work ethic. He is currently playing in the NBA Academy Africa where he has a chance to go against high quality players every day that has propelled his development. Joy’s future with ORU basketball is bright and I’m so glad he chose to be a part of the ORU family,” he added.

A guard from Nigeria, Ighovodja was one of 12 NBA Academy Africa student-athletes to participate in the 2022 Basketball Africa League (BAL) season from March to May of 2022.

The BAL is a professional league operated in partnership by the NBA and FIBA that features 12 of the top club teams from across Africa.
