SPINTEX KNIGHTS WILL BE JUST FINE WITHOUT AMOTOE

Last season’s MVP contender James Amotoe may have taken his talents to Rwanda, but Week 1 showed Spintex Knights are not just surviving—they are thriving. In a commanding 64-49 win over Airforce Men, the Knights looked organized, confident, and hungry to prove a point. Their crisp ball movement, transition play, and disciplined defense made it clear that Coach Selorm’s system remains intact, with or without their former star.

BRAVES WOMEN ARE STILL THE STANDARD IN THE LEAGUE

There is dominance—and then there is what Braves Women did to Airforce, an 86-22 demolition that reaffirmed their championship pedigree. The defending queens wasted no time asserting authority, overwhelming Airforce with relentless energy on both ends and a bench deep enough to trouble any opponent. With talents like Hannah Amoako leading the charge, the rest of the league has serious catching up to do.

A FUN SEASON IS ON THE CARDS

Week 1 reminded fans why the ABL is the beating heart of Ghanaian basketball, intense matchups, rising stars, and storylines that shift with every game. While the absence of players like Amotoe leaves big shoes to fill, the new season is already carving out fresh heroes and rivalries. And if Week 1 is anything to go by, we’re in for a thrilling ride.
