Despite their decent performance in this year's African Basketball League, the stars of Rivers Hoopers were not considered good enough for the defensive All-Star team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian champions returned to their winning ways on Friday with a comfortable victory over the Cape Town Tigers in the 3rd-place playoff.

Coach Ogoh Odaudu was adjudged as the best coach this season but no player from the team was considered for the All-star defensive team.

The 2024 All-BAL Defensive Team was announced on Friday with Aliou Diarra and Samkelo Cele making the list for the season in a row.

Diarra and Cele are joined in the 2024 All-BAL Defensive Team by Abdoulaye Harouna (AS Douanes), Al Ahly Ly’s duo Jo-Lual Acuil Jr., and Solo Diabate.

The announcement was made during the third-place game between Rivers Hoopers and Cape Town Tigers.
