2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup: Meet the Teams
NBA G League United - NBA G League - USA (ICC: Group B)
NBA G League United is the representative team for the NBA G League, replacing the previous team, NBA G League Ignite.
This team comprises top talents from the league, showcasing some of the best emerging players who aim to make their mark on the global stage.
A mix of youth and experience, the G League side could be spearheaded by 2022 NBA Champion and former Golden State Warrior Juan Toscano-Anderson.
Other former NBA players include Charlie Brown Jr., Deonte Burton, and Louis King.
Unicaja - Basketball Champions League - Spain (ICC: Group A)
Unicaja, from Spain, is participating after winning the 2023-2024 Basketball Champions League. This will be their debut in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, and they are one of the strongest European clubs, looking to add another international trophy to their collection.
Their summer saw the Spaniards add Olek Balcerowski (center) from EuroLeague Champions Panathinaikos and former Memphis Grizzly Killian Tillie – the latter finally back to professional basketball after spending two years nursing his injuries.
Ibon Navarro’s team look strong and will look to add a fourth Spanish team to the all-time winners list of the ever-growing FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
Petro de Luanda - Basketball Africa League - Angola (ICC: Group A)
Petro de Luanda, the champions of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) 2024, represent the African continent in the tournament.
Known for their dominance in African basketball, Petro de Luanda will be aiming to establish themselves on the international stage after becoming the first Sub-Saharian team to get their hands on the BAL.
Being placed with favorites Unicaja won’t certainly help, but the African powerhouse will be looking to upset the Andalusians as they suit up for their first-ever ICC trip.
Quimsa - Basketball Champions League Americas - Argentina (ICC: Group B)
Quimsa, from Argentina, secured their spot in the tournament by winning the 2023-2024 Basketball Champions League Americas.
They have previously participated in the Intercontinental Cup and are a strong contender from South America.
Their star player Is Brandon Robinson, former Clayton State standout and NBL Canada Rookie Of the Year. The Lake Wales native led Quimsa to a 2nd BCL Americas title with 16.2 points and 5.1 boards – including a clutch 23-point performance to sink Flamengo in the final.
Tasmania JackJumpers - National Basketball League - Australia (ICC: Group B)
The Tasmania JackJumpers are making history as the first team from Oceania to participate in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. They earned their spot by winning the NBL Championship, representing the growing talent from Australia's premier basketball league.
The Tasmanian outfits parted ways with their 2023-24 MVP (and title-winning shot maker) Jack McVeigh after the forward agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets of the NBA.
The NBL champs replaced their star forward with Tall Blacks veteran Reuben Te Rangi, a 12-year NBL athlete and captain of his national team.
The first team from Oceania to take the trip to the FIBA Intercontinental Cup will be a tough hurdle for their opponents in Group B.
Al Riyadi Beirut - Basketball Champions League Asia - Lebanon (ICC: Group A)
Al Riyadi Beirut, the champions of the Basketball Champions League Asia, represent Lebanon in the tournament. Known for their strong regional performance, they are ready to compete on the global stage.
Lebanon fans will love watching their team compete internationally after securing their third BCL Asia.
The 31-time domestic champs boast Cedrus Libani legend Wael Arakji and former Milwaukee Buck Thon Maker among their ranks. Will it be enough to pose some problems to Unicaja in Group A?
History of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup
Hot off the heels of the FIBA Basketball World Cup that took place in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia, Asia will host its second FIBA Intercontinental Cup. The Singapore Indoor Stadium is the setting for a competition founded in 1965.
It began as a test game between South American Club Championship winners, S.C. Corinthians Paulista (Brazil), and the winners of the FIBA European Champions Cup (EuroLeague), Real Madrid from Spain. Madrid would go on to win the next two titles and hold a record 5 competition wins.
The tournament format fluctuated from year to year between 1966 and 2023 (the 32nd edition in February), where between ten and two teams were invited to compete for the ICC title. The competition was inactive between 1988-1995 and 1997-2012.
After the first 2023 tournament concluded, the format and period of the season were changed to September to make it more schedule-friendly for teams ramping up for their new domestic campaigns. An agreement was also reached for Singapore to host the next three iterations of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
