High school career
Sikma, a 6'8" power forward, played high school basketball for Bellevue High School in Bellevue, Washington. He was a late bloomer, growing 7 inches over two years and only making the varsity team as a junior and senior. As a result, he was not highly recruited. Ultimately he chose to sign with the University of Portland.[1]
College career
Despite his modest reputation coming into the Portland Pilots program in 2007, Sikma was able to make an immediate impact, starting 23 of the team's 31 games and averaging 6.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. After steady production as a sophomore and junior, Sikma stepped up his game significantly as a senior. He averaged a double-double at 12.9 points and West Coast Conference-leading 10.5 rebounds per game. He was named to the All-WCC first team.[2] In his college career, Sikma scored 1,048 points (8.3 per game) and graduated as the Pilots' all-time leading rebounder with 987 (7.8 per game).[3]
Professional career
Sikma was not selected in the 2011 NBA draft. He signed with UB La Palma of Spain's second division (LEB Oro) for the 2011–12 season. He averaged 11.8 points and 7.7 rebounds before moving to Autocid Ford Burgos the following season. For the 2013–14 season Sikma moved up to the Spanish first division (Liga ACB), signing with CB Canarias.[4]
After spending two years in Canarias with notable performances, Sikma signed for two years with Valencia Basket. In 2017, Sikma won the Liga ACB with Valencia after beating Real Madrid 3–1 in the league finals.
On July 5, 2017, Sikma signed with German club Alba Berlin of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).[5] On April 28, 2018, Sikma was named the BBL Most Valuable Player and to the All-BBL First Team.[6] On June 12, 2019, Alba Berlin announced a four year extension of Sikma's contract.[7]

Lucas Clayton Sikma, genannt „Luke“, (* 30. Juli 1989 in Bellevue, Washington) ist ein US-amerikanischer Basketballspieler. Nach dem Studium in seinem Heimatland kam seine professionelle Karriere nur langsam auf höchstem Niveau in Gang. So ging er 2011 zum Start nach Spanien, wo er zunächst zwei Jahre in der zweitklassigen LEB Oro für zwei verschiedene Klubs spielte. Hier konnte er sich für die höchste Spielklasse Liga ACB empfehlen, wo er nach weiteren zwei Jahren für Iberostar Teneriffa schließlich zum Valencia BC wechselte, mit dem er im zweiten Jahr deren erste nationale Meisterschaft sowie die Vizemeisterschaft im EuroCup 2016/17 gewann. Anschließend wechselte Sikma zu Alba Berlin in die deutsche Basketball-Bundesliga (BBL), wo er für das BBL All-Star Game eingeladen wurde und den Titelgewinn im Finale des easycredit BBL-Pokal 2018 nur knapp verpasste.- [en] Luke Sikma
