JACK Animam begins her European stint as the First Women's Basketball League of Serbia tips off this weekend.
Radnicki Kragujevac opens its season against newly-promoted Proleter 023 at home at Jezero Hall on Saturday.
"Excited na ako kasi pangmalakasang laban na dito," Animam said ahead of her debut.
It's a brand new challenge for the 6-foot-2 Bulakenya, who led Shih Hsin University to the University Basketball Association (UBA) championship in Taiwan.
In the Serbian league, Animam gets to face some of the top talents in Europe, especially with Serbia ranked No. 9 in the Fiba world rankings and fourth in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
