Indiana basketball has added former Hoosier Sam Alexis to its roster for the FISU America Games in Peru, with plans to play him starting in the event’s upcoming game against the Virgin Islands. Alexis, fresh off an NBA Summer League stint with Oklahoma City, averaged 3.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. He slides into the role intended for Turkish signee Samet Yigitoglu, who can practice with the team but is ineligible to compete for Team USA in the event. The Hoosiers are operating shorthanded in the interior due to the absence of freshmen signee Clemens Sokolov, who is not expected to join until August. Indiana is competing as Team USA in the tournament, and several articles note the ongoing roster constraints and the significance of Alexis’ addition to frontline depth.
