Sampaense Basket signs rookie Demariontay Hall for his first professional season

Sampaense Basket (Portugal-Proliga) has strengthened its frontcourt by signing American forward Demariontay Hall (199 cm) for the 2026-27 season. The former Coppin State University standout will begin his professional career in Portugal after an impressive collegiate campaign.

In his senior season with the Eagles, Hall appeared in 25 games and averaged 10.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, while shooting an efficient 52.4 percent from the field.

Hall enters his rookie season with valuable international experience already on his résumé. Earlier this month, he competed in the 2026 United Pro Invitational in Atlanta, where he helped lead the GIE Cibao Immortals to a perfect 4-0 record and the tournament championship.

The Immortals are familiar territory for Hall. During the 2023-24 season, he suited up for the Dominican Republic club in the LDC Superior League, playing a key role in helping the organization capture its first-ever Lopez Cup Championship. His strong debut season earned him Latinbasket.com Dominican Republic LDC Superior League All-Rookie Team honors, along with League Honorable Mention recognition.

Now, Hall takes the next step in his basketball journey as he begins his professional career with Sampaense Basket, bringing athleticism, versatility, and championship experience to Portugal's Proliga.

Trinity United, LLC congratulates Demariontay Hall on signing his first professional contract and wishes him continued success throughout his career. 🇵🇹🏀
