Novo pojačanje Zadra je 25-godišnji Jacobi Boykins. Ovo je četvrti novi igrač koji će braniti boje Zadra nakon Bursaća, Paponje i Workua.
Boykins koji je proveo četiri godine na sveučilištu Louisiana Tech, dolazi u Zadar kao pojačanje na poziciji dva/tri. Prošle sezone nastupao je za Rio Grande Valley Vipers i za Sioux Falls Skyforce u NBA G-League.
