Mark Lyons

Petrojet added 36-year-old American guard Mark Lyons to their roster for the 2025-26 season. He last played for Nasser in the Kuwaiti D1 league and previously played for Al Ahly Cairo during the 2023-24 season. Lyons, who stands at 185cm and weighs 84kg, brings experience to the team from his college basketball days at Arizona.
He has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2013.

Lyons is a highly experienced player. He has played professionally in Belgium, China (Guizhou), Croatia, France, Greece (Charilaos), Israel (Hapoel Tel Aviv, Maccabi Effie Capital Rishon Le-Zion, Ironi Nahariya and Ashkelon), Italy (Pesaro), Lebanon (Al Riyadi and Homentmen), Mexico (Dorados), Puerto Rico (Piratas), Russia (Enisey), Saudi Arabia (Al Hilal), Turkey (Gaziantep, Usak and Balikesir Buyuksehir Belediyespor) and The Basketball Tournament (Armored Athlete, Team Fancy and Zip Em Up). He has played on five different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and North America) in fifteen different countries.

He played in the final of the Egyptian League in 2024. Lyons was voted to Afrobasket.com All-Basketball Africa League Honorable Mention in 2024. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Petrojet.

He graduated from the University of Arizona in 2013 and it will be his 13th (hopefully lucky) season as a professional player. Lyons played also for Xavier University for 4 years.
