“I chose to come back because it’s a great city and a very professional team,” said Osborne. “I loved the fans when I was there, every game and all the support they gave us was amazing. The coaches and I get along very well and I know some of the returning players so hopefully we mesh well together again and have the opportunity to play for a CEBL championship.”
In his 42 games in the CEBL, Osborne has averaged 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 26 minutes per game between the Edmonton Stingers, Montreal Alliance and Ottawa Blackjacks.
“Isiah was a huge part of our team in 2023 and we are very excited to have him back this summer,” said Stingers Head Coach and General Manager Jordan Baker. “He has the ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor and always plays his best basketball in target time. The expectation is for him to make an immediate impact now that he is back in Edmonton!”
Prior to turning pro, Osborne played 23 games in the NCAA for the University of Texas at El Paso. Between 2018-2020, Osborne played 43 games with Carelton in USports, leading his team to the U Sports Championship in both years, being named both All-Star and MVP in 2020.
