Abraham Damar Admits SM's Offer Comes At The Right Time, Here's The Reason

Jakarta - Satria Muda Pertamina Jakarta player Abraham Damar Grahita admitted that the offer from the IBL winning subscription team came at the right time, because he was involved in problems with his old club.

"There was a communication error. There was communication that was not conveyed," Abraham said in connection with the problems he was experiencing, citing the official IBL website in Jakarta, Thursday.

Abraham Damar's last team at IBL was Prawira Harum Bandung. He has defended the IBL championship team last season from 2021 to 2022. In 2023, Abraham had the opportunity to play in the Japanese basketball league with Veltex Shizouka who played in the second division of the Sakura country competition.

However, Abraham Damar's move to Japan still leaves problems with Prawira Harum Bandung.

According to him, the 2023 period is the most difficult because he has to deal with the law after playing in Japan. At that time, Abraham began to think about forgetting basketball.

Because of this legal case, Abraham Damar had missed the opportunity to play as a squad for the Indonesian basketball national team in several international events. Abraham could not strengthen the Indonesian national team squad in sports competitions in Southeast Asia, namely the 2023 Cambodia and the 2022 Asian Games Hangzhou China.

Abraham also did not play to strengthen Indonesia in the pre-qualification event for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even at the Indonesia International Basketball Invitational 2023 which was the Indonesia Arena trial event before the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Abraham only watched the Indonesian national team in the stands.

"In that period I started to think about forgetting basketball. However, because I am a competitive person, taking an offer from Satria Muda is the most reasonable. To keep playing in Indonesian basketball and become a champion in Indonesia," said Abraham.

The cooperation agreement with Satria Muda was carried out directly with General Manager of Satria Muda Riska Natalia Dewi and witnessed by the President of the Satria Muda Club Baim Wong. This also inaugurated the move of Abraham Damar who previously played for Prawira Harum Bandung.
