What you need to know:

  • Eugene Adera, one of Thunder’s standouts, remained optimistic: “We just have to stay connected. We have a couple of games to go and that’s what we’re focusing on. We’ll watch the film and get better.”
  • Nairobi City Thunder will look to bounce back against South Africa’s MBB, another team still chasing its first win in the tournament on Tuesday at 5pm Kenyan Time.

In Kigali

Nairobi City Thunder’s tough debut in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) continued on Sunday after they were outclassed 115-87 by fellow newcomers Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya.
