Igor Ibaka, younger brother of Thunder F Serge Ibaka, to play for Oklahoma State
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Thunder forward Serge Ibaka's younger brother, Igor, will play for Oklahoma State.
Dustin Grover, Igor's coach at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, said Wednesday that Igor plans to get his associate's degree within the next year, then enroll at Oklahoma State in time to play during the 2015-16 season. He will not play JUCO ball next season because he will be past the age limit. He turns 22 in July.
As a freshman last season, the 6-foot-8 center was an All-Region selection after averaging 13.7 points and 9.6 rebounds and shooting 64 percent from the field.
