MONTRÉAL, QC – The Montréal Alliance announced Friday that Ibrahim Appiah will return as assistant general manager and director of player personnel for the 2023 Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) season. Appiah has held both positions since the 2022 CEBL season and will work alongside newly appointed assistant general manager in charge of strategy and development, Charles Dubé-Brais, in assisting general manager Joel Anthony.
