On her Instagram account, Timma confirms that she will participate in the “Media Basket” project organized by “Liga Stavok”.
“It’s something interesting to me,” says Timma. “Thought why not give it a try?”
In the “Spelet.lv NBA Latvija” account on the “X.com” website, it is mentioned that Timma will represent the “Alikson” team.
Playing in Russia, which has caused a war in Ukraine, will mean that Timma will no longer be allowed to represent Latvia.
In games, each team has three basketball players on the court and the game lasts for ten minutes.
This is the fourth season of the “Media Basket” project. This season, the games take place from October 12 to November 23.
Timma, who played his first game for the national team in 2014, has played 35 official games in the shirt of the Latvian national team, scoring 338 points.
The last time Timma played in the Latvian national team was in the qualification tournament of the Paris Olympic Games at the beginning of July in Riga.
The basketball player started the last season in the ranks of Istanbul “Darushşafaka” in the Turkish championship, but finished the season together with Jānis Strēlnieks in the Spanish Premier League club “Obradoiro” of Santiago de Campos.
The basketball player spent part of the 2022/2023 season without a club and made his debut in the Puerto Rico Championship in the ranks of Umacao “Grises”, but after four games, Timma and the club parted ways. After that, the Latvian basketball player spent the season in the “Big3” league in the “Aliens” unit.
On the other hand, in the first half of the 2021/2022 season, the Kraslav player was part of the Russian club Kazan “Unics”, playing three Euroleague matches in this unit. He spent the second half of the season with the Lakeland Magic of the G League of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Abroad, the basketball player has also played in Piraeus “Olympiakos”, St. Petersburg “Zenit”, Vittoria “Baskonia” and Moscow Region “Khimki” teams. During his career, Timma has also represented the Latvian teams “ASK Rīga”, ASK/”Juniors”, “Liepājas lauvas”, “Ventspils” and “VEF Rīga”.
