Badr signed with Al-Gezira for the 2009–10 season after spending the last several years with Al Zamalek in the Egyptian Super League.[2]

National team career

Badr played with the Egypt national basketball team and participated at FIBA AfroBasket in 2007, 2009 and 2013.[3] Badr averaged 10.6 PPG and 3.1 APG as one of the few consistent performers on the 2009 Egypt team that 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.[3][4] He also played in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, his last tournament before retiring from national team duty.
