Nigeria's men's 3x3 basketball team suffered a 21-16 loss to Scotland in their fourth match of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The defeat leaves Team Nigeria with a 1-3 record in the competition after four games. The Nigerians began their campaign on a positive note with a victory over Cape Verde but have since endured three consecutive defeats.

Scotland produced a disciplined display to claim the win, dealing another blow to Nigeria's hopes of progressing to the next stage of the tournament.

With only one win from four matches, the Nigerian side now faces a difficult task and will need positive results in their remaining fixtures to keep their qualification hopes alive.
