NBA Nigeria equips 40 teens at Junior Elite Camp

A total of 40 players, made up of 20 boys and 20 girls took part in the second Junior NBA Elite Camp, which was hosted by NBA Nigeria for U-16 basketball players. The camp took place last weekend at the University of Lagos, and it coincided with International Women’s Day.
 

The first edition saw two campers, Samson Mashebinu and Lewis Uvwo recruited to join the NBA Academy Africa, an elite training centre that develops and nurtures top prospects from the continent in Saly, Senegal.
 
The student-athletes have a unique opportunity to be selected to play in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) through the BAL Elevate, a programme, which aims to provide an opportunity for the next generation of African prospects to participate in the new professional league, showcase their talent on a global stage.
