D’Tigers eye second AfroBasket title since 2015
D'Tigers, Nigeria's national basketball team, are aiming for their second AfroBasket title since 2015 after a one-week intensive preparation in Abuja. The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has released the roster led by NBA star Josh Okogie to fly the Nigerian flag at the 2025 FIBA Men's Afrobasket Championship starting on August 12.
The final list includes Angola-based players such as Kaodirichi, Talib Zanna, Stan Okoye, and others. The team is housed in Group B along with Tunisia, Madagascar, and Cameroon.
D'Tigers have had a mixed record in the tournament, with only one title win in 2015 despite multiple appearances. The team is looking to improve on their past performances and make a strong showing in this year's championship.
