FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Saskatoon, Sask. – The Saskatchewan Rattlers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Wednesday that they have re-signed Lawrence Moore for the 2022 CEBL season. The Chicago-native rejoins the Rattlers for his fourth year with the team. Moore played with the team in 2019, signed with the team in 2020, and continues to support the Rattlers community while he rehabs his injury.

Moore made the most of his time on the floor in the 2019 inaugural CEBL season shooting an impressive 44% from the field. Moore averaged 5.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 6 games in 2019. In his last two seasons with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, Moore averaged 22.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. Prior to joining the Huskies, Moore spent time with Bakersfield College in California. The 6-foot-2 import guard is known for his ball control, playmaking and shooting skills. Moore has been a constant presence in the community for the Rattlers since 2019 appearing at a multitude of community events including “Dunk Out Bullying” which saw him travel to English River First Nation engaging with children through the game of basketball, and Rattlers Youth Basketball Clinics where he has coaching on-going monthly clinics throughout Saskatchewan.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Moore back to the team”, said Rattlers General Manager Barry Rawlyk. “He is easily the best guard to come out of the program at the University of Saskatchewan in recent memory, and was on the cusp of having a great year with the Rattlers last season before suffering a really unfortunate training camp injury. He has worked very hard to get back to playing condition, and will provide some real excitement with his creative play.”

“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person that walked into it. That’s what the storm is all about. That’s how I feel about coming back from my injury”, said Moore. “When you can’t control what’s happening to you, control how you respond to it – that’s where your power is.”
