2025 BAL season group phase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The game between Stade Malien and Rivers Hoopers in the Kalahari Conference

The 2025 BAL season group phase begins on 4 April and will end on 25 May 2024. The 12 teams of the group phase are allocated into three conferences. The BAL announced the official schedule on 28 February 2025.[1]

It is the first time that the any BAL game is hosted in Morocco, and the first time that Kigali hosted a group phase, as the previous games they were hosted were playoffs and finals games.

  • On May 18, Al Ahli Tripoli set a new team scoring record with 115 points in a win over the Nairobi City Thunder.[2]
  • On May 24, Al Ahli Tripoli and APR set a record for most points combined by two teams in a BAL game after a 106–102 final score; making for a total of 208 points.[3]
  • In the Nile Conference, Deon Thompson of Al Ahli Tripoli set a record for the highest efficiency in a BAL game, ending with a score of 43 in the game against the Nairobi City Thunder on May 18.[4]
  • MBB center Daniel Craig became the tallest player in BAL history, standing at 7 ft 3 in (2.21 m).[5]
