Background

edit

Misters has represented the Latvian national team in four European youth championships.[2]

Misters was once considered one of the top Latvian prospects for players born in 1992 and was invited to Fiva-Star Camp in Serbia in 2007. Overcame two major knee injuries (ACLs), first right after highschool, second before the college senior year, to pursue a professional basketball career.[3][4][5][6]

In August 2017, he went on a try-out for Latvian champions VEF Riga and later signed a contract.[7][8]
