Early life
[edit | edit source]Born and raised in Chicago, Filer attended Mount Carmel High School before transferring to the Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond, Indiana. He later also attended Notre Dame Preparatory School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.[2]
College career
[edit | edit source]Filer committed to the Clemson Tigers. In his rookie season, he averaged 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds.[3] After two years, he transferred from Clemson to Florida Atlantic.[4]
Professional career
[edit | edit source]On September 14, 2017, Filer signed his first professional contract with Cypriot club Apollon Limassol.[5] He was released before playing any official game with the team.
Filer then signed a contract for the 2018–19 season, with Beroe of the Bulgarian National Basketball League (NBL).[6]
During the 2020–21 season, Filer played with the Patriots of the RNBL. After the season, his contract expired.[7] On June 8, 2021, Filer signed with REG.[7] On March 8, 2022, he set a new BAL record for most assists in a game after racking up 14 assists in a win over AS Salé.[8] The same season, he went on to win his second RBL title and was named to the All-RBL First Team a second year in a row.
In November 2022, Filer played with Urunani BBC in the Elite 16 of the 2023 BAL qualification.[9] He returned to REG for the 2023 main season.[10]
In October 2023, Filer joined APR, his third Rwandan club.[11] Filer played in the 2024 BAL season with APR. On May 11, 2024, he tore his achilles tendon which would keep him out for at least eight months.[12] Without Filer, APR went on to lose their final game and subsequently failed to qualify for the playoffs.[13]
