The Lebanese Central Jounieh Basketball Club has completed all the necessary procedures to include the American player Clay Anthony Early in its ranks in preparation for participating in the 2024-2025 season. However, the final decision regarding his participation remains subject to the decision of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), which is studying the scope of the penalty imposed on the player, whether it is limited to the Libyan League or includes international competitions.
Erli faces a ban for his participation in the Libyan league, but there is still uncertainty over whether this will be applied to international competitions. The expected decision from FIBA will determine whether Erli will play for the Central Jounieh team next season or will be absent from matches until further notice.
