  • Cyprus - Enosis Neon Paralimni (2022–2023) | Croatia - Alkar (2023–2024) | Libya - Al Hilal (2024), Al Morog (2024–2025) | Dominican Republic - Marineros de Puerto Plata (2024) | Lebanon - Club Central Jounieh (2024), Homenetmen Beirut (2025–2026) | Liberia - Mighty Barrolle (2024)

Alok joined Enosis Neon Paralimni for the 2022–23 Cypriot League season, playing his first season in Cyprus and averaging 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game across seven appearances between 8 October and 26 November 2022.

Alok moved to Croatia for the 2023–24 season with Alkar in the Croatian Premijer Liga, where he averaged 11.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game across 29 games and was later recognised with Eurobasket.com Croatian Premijer Liga All-Imports Team honours for 2024.

On 14 May 2024, Alok joined Al Hilal for the Libyan League season, and his 2024 run in Libya included a regular season runner-up finish in Libyan League Group 2.

In August 2024, Alok had a six-game stint with Marineros de Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic’s Liga Nacional de Baloncesto before signing in Lebanon on 13 September 2024 with Club Central Jounieh for the Lebanese Basketball League season.

On 6 November 2024, Alok joined Mighty Barrolle in Liberia’s Division 1 competition and appeared in two games before returning to Libya on 11 December 2024 with Al Morog in the Libyan Division I Basketball League.

Alok returned to Lebanon on 17 January 2025 when he joined Homenetmen Beirut in the Lebanese Basketball League, and his 2025 season included a Lebanese LBL Third Team selection in Asia-Basket.com’s end-of-season awards.

COLLEGE

Alok played college basketball at Chipola College during the 2016–17 season before transferring to TCU, where he competed in the 2018–19 season, and he later signed with Southern Utah in 2020 while his final NCAA game action came at Coppin State (2020–21) and New Mexico State (2021–22).

Alok suited up for Chipola during the 2016–17 season, appearing in all 30 games and making 21 starts while averaging 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game, with shooting splits of .606 from the field, .333 from three-point range, and .685 at the free-throw line.

In that 2016–17 Chipola season, he produced 12 double-figure scoring games, two 20-point outings, and three double-doubles, highlighted by a season-high 22 points and a season-high 11 rebounds in a win over East Georgia State College (Dec. 30), and a season-high four blocks in a 10-point win over Miami Dade College (Dec. 11), while earning All-Panhandle Conference Second Team recognition.

Alok returned to Chipola for the 2017–18 season, logging minutes in 22 of the team’s 30 games with 21 starts, and he lifted his production to 12.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while posting .551/.481/.816 shooting splits and finishing the year with 13 games of 10 or more points, two 20-point games, and three double-doubles.

During the 2017–18 season at Chipola, he was billed as the nation’s top junior college recruit heading into the year and later finished with All-Panhandle Conference Second Team accolades again, including a 20-point game on 7-of-12 shooting against Baton Rouge Community College (Nov. 13) and a 20-point, 15-rebound double-double against Georgia Highlands College (Dec. 2) that also featured a season-high four blocks, with his sophomore year also noted for scoring 15 or more points in a game on eight occasions.

Alok committed to TCU out of Chipola and opened the 2018–19 season in Fort Worth, appearing in 10 games and averaging 3.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game before a hand injury ended his season early.

In his TCU debut against CSU Bakersfield (Nov. 7, 2018), Alok set his Horned Frogs highs with 11 points and six rebounds while adding a block, and later posted a season-best two blocked shots at USC (Dec. 7) as part of his 10-game stint.

In January 2019, Alok transferred to UCF after leaving TCU, but he did not appear in a game for the Knights after being ruled ineligible, before later signing with Southern Utah in January 2020 under head coach Todd Simon, a move that followed his path from Kenya to New Zealand and then to the United States as a teenager, though he ultimately did not play a game for Southern Utah.

Alok’s next NCAA minutes came after he joined Coppin State in January 2021, and across 11 games (all starts) in the 2020–21 season he averaged 9.5 points and 5.9 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game while shooting 42-for-75 from the field (56.0%), 9-for-22 on threes (40.9%), and 11-for-19 at the line (57.9%), adding ten blocks, eight assists and three steals.

During that Coppin State stretch, he scored in double figures six times with one double-double, beginning with 10 points and four rebounds in his debut at Morgan State (Jan. 16) and continuing with a career-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting with two threes against Norfolk State (Jan. 24), plus back-to-back 10-point games against Morgan State (Jan. 30 and Feb. 2), four blocks alongside seven rebounds at Norfolk State (Feb. 7), and a 14-point, six-rebound finish at Delaware State (Feb. 28).

In the 2021 MEAC Tournament, Alok delivered 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting with two three-pointers and a career-high 11 rebounds against Morgan State (March 12), which earned him a spot on the MEAC All-Tournament Team.

Alok moved again as a graduate transfer to New Mexico State for the 2021–22 season, playing in 30 of the team’s 34 games with six starts and averaging 4.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game while shooting 48.8% from the field, 36.8% from three, and 68.8% at the foul line, finishing the year with 140 points, 51 rebounds, and 12 blocks across the season.

During New Mexico State’s 2021–22 run, he made his first start in a WAC home win over California Baptist (Feb. 3) and scored 10 points with three rebounds, and he was part of an Aggies team that won the WAC regular-season title, captured the WAC Tournament championship to reach the NCAA Tournament, and then recorded the program’s first NCAA Tournament win since 1993 by beating UConn 70–63 in the first round (March 17, 2022), with Alok also appearing in the second-round game against Arkansas two days later.

    • Which NBL Teams Spent the Most?
