S’pore side excited as Asean Basketball League returns on Monday after hiatus
Much has changed for Singapore Slingers player Delvin Goh since the Asean Basketball League (ABL) was suspended in March 2020 because of the pandemic.
He launched a few entrepreneurship endeavours, including a sauce business as well as an online shop selling pet carriers. He dabbled in property and is also set to become a father in mid-January.
His teammates have also started their own businesses or coached at the ActiveSG Basketball Academy, of which Slingers coach Neo Beng Siang is principal.
But one thing that has not changed is Goh's passion for the sport. After three years of waiting, he and his teammates finally get to don Slingers colours again when the 2023 ABL Invitational tips off at the OCBC Arena on Monday.
The eight-team competition has a new format. There are also tournaments in Batam, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City before the best-of-three semi-finals and finals later in 2023.
What remains unchanged for Goh, 27, are the nerves. Despite making his debut in 2011, he still felt nervous but excited after the three-year hiatus.
