Cedevita Olimpija announces signing of Jackie Carmichael

Former Igokea switch ABA Liga side

In the Cedevita Olimpija jersey, we will be able to follow Jackie Carmichael in the 2021/22 racing season, who successfully competed in Igokea last season.

Cedevita Olimpija managed to bring another excellent basketball player to their ranks, who last season was one of the leading competitors of the Ljubljana club in the regional competition. Jackie Carmichael, a 31-year-old and 206-centimeter-tall American, successfully defended the colors of Igokea in the season behind us and was one of the team leaders from Laktasi, and in the new season we will be able to follow him in the Dragons jersey.

After finishing his college career, Jackie Carmichael was not selected on the NBA League roster, and in Europe he continued to test himself in the Bilbao jersey. His stop in Spain lasted just ten games, and at the end of 2013 he was joined by Iowa Energy, which plays in the development league of the strongest basketball competition in the world. He concluded the season successfully, as he was selected in the third five newcomers in the t.i. ‘D-League’.

In the following seasons, Carmichael then wore the jerseys of the Maccabi Rishon, Banvit, Maccabi Ashdod, Usak, Avtodor, Al Riyadi and Unics teams, and concluded the 2018/19 season in Turkish Korkasony.

Before the start of the 2019/20 season, he moved to JL Bourg, France, where he stayed for one season, and then joined Igokea before the start of the season behind us. For the team from Laktasi, which managed to make it to the semifinals of the ABA League, he averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game in 24 games. Along with Igokea, Carmichael also played in the Basketball Champions League, scoring 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
