Struggling Giants unlikely to Reach Quarters
Joburg Giants’ quarterfinal hopes have been reduced to a minimum after starting BAL 2026 with back-to-back defeats in front of the home crowd.
They were demolished in the opening round by Tanzanian champions Dar City, losing 100-70, hitting just 4 of 24 three-point attempts, missing 9 of 19 free throws, and committing 22 turnovers.
Joburg looked far more competitive in their second game, entering the final quarter level with Nairobi City Thunder, but still lost 71-65, once again struggling from beyond the arc (3/13).
Tigers in Top Form at BAL 2026

The Rwandan champions opened their campaign with a strong offensive display in a 103-95 win over Al Ahly Benghazi, with US duo Leonard Randall (37 points) and Teafale Lenard Jr (27 points) leading the way.
They followed that up with a major upset, defeating last year’s finalists Petro 82-78, with Lenard starring again with 26 points, while Mangok Mathiang added a double-double (18 points, 10 rebounds).
