Mohamed Khorshid

Mohamed Khorshid (born September 18, 1985, in Alexandria, Egypt) is an Egyptian basketball player currently playing for Sporting Alexandria of the Egyptian Super League.[1] He is a member of the Egypt national basketball team.

Khorshid participated with the Egypt national basketball team at the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship.[2] Despite only averaging 18.3 minutes per game off the bench for Egypt, he grabbed a team leading 6.6 rebounds per game.[1] However, the team finished a disappointing tenth place; this was Egypt's worst ever finish in 19 appearances at the tournament and had some fans calling for a complete dismantling of the team.[1] In 2021, Khorshid announced he was considering retirement.[3]
