Basketball Africa League Announces 12 Teams For Inaugural Season
The Basketball Africa League officially announced the 12 teams that will compete in its inaugural season.
The teams include: Groupement Sportif des Petroliers (Algeria), Petro de Luanda (Angola), Forces Armees et Police (Cameroon), Zamalek (Egypt), Gendarmerie Nationale Basketball Club (Madagascar), AS Police (Mali), AS Sale (Morocco), Ferrovià rio de Maputo (Mozambique), Rivers Hoopers BC (Nigeria), Patriots BC (Rwanda), AS Douanes (Senegal) and Union Sportive Monastirienne (Tunisia).
The season tips off in Dakar on March 13th.
Nike and Jordan Brand are set to supply the uniforms for the season.
"I think it's really important because there's a lot of special talent that the world doesn't know about. If you look at the guys in the league who have been able to make it, there's probably somebody better than me or has the potential to be better than me in the future. So I think it's a great initiative," said Joel Embiid of the new league.
