The G-League team lost 76-82 to the.Al Ahly, the winning team of the Basketball Africa League. For the Egyptians on the shields the former NBA and Avellino, Norris Cole (13points + 9 assists), along with center Omar Oraby (14 + 11 rebounds) and guard Ehab Amin (15 with 4/8 from three) who confirmed the very good things shown at the World Cup.
For Team Ignite well Ron Holland (15) and Tyler Smith (18), the two most interesting prospects of the group. In the other challenge of the first day, a very wide victory (105-50) by Bonn over Al Manama.
