Former University of Memphis basketball player Jimario Rivers will continue his basketball career overseas.
Cheshire Phoenix, a team in the British Basketball League, announced the signing of the 6-foot-8 Rivers this week to its 2018-19 roster. Rivers averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in two seasons at the UofM and shot 52 percent from the field.
At Cheshire Phoenix, Rivers will be re-united with Daniel Norl, a former teammate at Kenwood High in Clarksville, Tenn.
