Montreal Alliance Sign Veteran Guard Tony Carr

Montreal, QC – The Montreal Alliance announced today the signing of American guard Tony Carr, a dynamic and experienced playmaker who brings a proven track record of scoring, leadership, and versatility across top leagues worldwide.

A 6-foot-5 guard from  Philadelphia, Carr joins the Alliance following an accomplished professional career spanning the NBA G League, Europe, the Middle East, and the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL). Over 122 professional games, Carr has averaged 14.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game, demonstrating his ability to impact the game in multiple ways.

He previously played with the Saskatchewan Rattlers (now Saskatoon Mamba) during the 2021–22 CEBL season, where he averaged 19.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game. Carr recorded multiple standout performances, including the league’s only triple-double of the 2022 season and a postseason league-high 15 assists. He was named to the All-CEBL First Team, solidifying his status as one of the league’s premier guards.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to join the Montreal Alliance,” said Carr. “I’ve had great experiences in this league before, and I’m ready to come in, compete, and help the team win. I take pride in leading by example and doing whatever the team needs to succeed.”

Internationally, Carr has continued to showcase his playmaking and impact, most recently with Sagesse Al Hekmeh Beirut, where he averaged 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 10.0 assists per game. 

At the collegiate level, Carr was a standout at Penn State, earning All-Big Ten First Team honors in 2018 after averaging 19.6 points and 5.0 assists per game. His combination of scoring ability and court vision established him as one of the top guards in the conference.

"We're extremely excited to add Tony Carr to our group this season,” said Co-Owner and General Manager Joel Anthony. “He’s an elite, versatile guard who can impact the game at a high level as both a scorer and a playmaker. Tony established himself as one of the top players in the CEBL during his previous stint, and we’re confident his toughness, leadership, and high basketball IQ will be major assets as we continue building toward the upcoming season."

Carr is expected to play a key role in the Alliance backcourt, bringing physicality and a strong playmaking presence. His ability to contribute as both a scorer and facilitator adds valuable depth and flexibility to the roster heading into the 2026 season.
