Hey,

Chiming in from Latvia, on a little job for the U19 World Cup until next week - 26 degrees and sunshine you can't go wrong, unless you're in a bubble and can't leave the hotel except to go to the arena!

This week's 3-pointer:

♻️ Lions run it back for another European challenge

Great to see London Lions running it back for another qualification run for the BCL regular season this coming year. Awesome news after a major unlucky streak with COVID last year - we need more teams making the European jump!

🏟 Riders arena expansion

Big news as Leicester Riders are increasing their facility from a three to a five-court venue, making it the largest in the country. Facilities really are key to making this whole British basketball thing work - the more venues/courts the better. Looking forward to seeing Leicester's upgrade when it is complete.

🌍 Success abroad

Congrats to Callum Lawson who won a championship in Iceland last week, and Ovie Soko who picked up first-team honours in France, whilst the GB Women side qualified for the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup.

That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any questions, thoughts or anything else!

With gratitude,

Sam
