By Sam Neter on June 29, 2023

London Lions have been officially confirmed as the fourth BBL team to compete in Europe this season after being announced for a second season in the EuroCup.

Widely considered the second best competition in Europe after the EuroLeague – which it is owned by, the EuroCup will see 20 clubs from 14 nations compete for the title, including two each from France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Spain and Turkey.

Last season the Lions became the first British team to ever qualify for the EuroCup playoffs.

So far confirmed on the 2023-24 roster, is Gabe Olaseni plus returners Sam Dekker, Josh Sharma and Bradley Kaboza.

The EuroCup will also have a new postseason format, which sees only six teams instead of eight qualify for the playoffs, and includes best-of-three series in the semifinal and final phases.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
