What is the story about?
This is your weekly check-in on former West Virginia basketball players currently playing professionally.
This week followed a familiar mix across leagues — close games, heavy minutes for some, rotation work for others, and one notable roster change. Some Mountaineers were leaned on, others filled steadier roles, and a few simply stayed in the rotation as teams worked through the middle of their seasons. If you see the 🎥 icon below, it links to available game footage or highlights.
Here’s how things
looked from January 6 through January 13.
NOTE: If you spot a former Mountaineer playing professionally who isn’t listed here, let us know in the comments.
Jesse Edwards holds steady through two tight games
Melbourne United spent the week on the wrong side of two one-possession games, but Jesse Edwards stayed consistent in both.
Edwards logged 22 minutes against Cairns on Jan. 7, finishing with 11 points and three rebounds in a one-point loss. Four days later in Sydney, his workload ticked up to 27 minutes, and he responded with 23 points and eight rebounds as Melbourne again fell by three.

Keddy continues to impress in Lebanon
Kedrian Johnson followed last week’s featured performance with another strong outing for Hoops Club, finishing with 18 points, six rebounds, and six assists in a road win at Homenetmen.
Johnson played 33 minutes and remained a steady presence with the ball, balancing scoring and assists as Hoops Club controlled the game. His role has continues to grow as the season moves along, with the team consistently trusting him to manage extended stretches.

A big week in Australia from Jesse Edwards leads the way, with Kedrian Johnson’s steady production in Lebanon and multiple G League outings filling out another packed Mountaineers Abroad check-in.
G League minutes add up for Sean McNeil and Teddy Allen
Cleveland’s road swing gave Sean McNeil three different looks in three games, with his role shifting night to night.
McNeil opened the week with 39 minutes in Mexico City, finishing with nine points and six rebounds against Capitanes. Two nights later in Texas, he carried more of the scoring load, posting 22 points in 36 minutes during an overtime loss to the Legends. The trip closed with a quieter offensive night — 23 minutes, no points — but the minutes total across the week still reflected Cleveland’s trust in him as a rotation piece.
In Rio Grande Valley, Teddy Allen’s usage was more predictable. Allen appeared in all three games, scoring in double figures each night and topping out at 13 points in back-to-back wins over Greensboro.

Dibo making moves in France
Remi Dibo’s name showed up in a different place this week. After opening the season with Berck/Rang du Fliers in France’s NM1, Dibo appeared in the rotation for Poissy Basket on Jan. 10, marking his first listed action with the club.
The move came without a public announcement from either team, a common occurrence in France’s third tier, where news of roster changes often surface in the box scores rather than press releases. Dibo logged 27 minutes in a road loss to Tours, stepping directly into Poissy’s frontcourt rotation rather than easing into the rotation.

Notable nights in Europe
Joe Toussaint’s week in Slovakia featured one of his more complete lines of the season. In a Jan. 6 road win, he played 29 minutes, scored 12 points, and dished nine assists as Prievidza controlled the game early and never let it slip.

Terry Henderson logged heavy minutes in Prague’s derby loss, finishing with 13 points in 34 minutes while handling much of the perimeter workload. His usage stayed high even as the result tilted away late.
Andrew Gordon continued to anchor the paint in Kosovo, scoring 16 points and grabbing eight rebounds in a home win.

Busy slate in the UK
RaeQuan Battle’s lone appearance this week came in a road win at Manchester, where he logged 33 minutes and finished with 13 points. Leicester leaned on him primarily as a secondary scorer, with his minutes reflecting a close game rather than a hot shooting night.
Tarik Phillip saw EuroCup action this week in an appearance against Chemnitz that saw him log 25 minutes, score 15 points, and hand out five assists. London’s schedule continues to ask Phillip to toggle between roles depending on competition, but the minutes remain there.

vs. Celje
L 77–70
L 77–70
35 MIN | 17 PTS | 6 REB | 5 AST | 4 STL | 0 BLK
In a 77–70 loss to Celje, Watson played 35 minutes and finished with 17 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four steals, accounting for much of Partizan’s perimeter production in a game that stayed within reach into the fourth quarter. The stat line reflected the type of workload Watson carried at West Virginia — active defensively, involved as a secondary ball-handler, and willing to take on volume minutes when needed.
Partizan has leaned on a short rotation in WABA League play, and Watson’s usage this week suggests she’s firmly in that mix as the schedule moves deeper into January.
