Republic eye spot in Taiwanese tourney after demise of Asean Basketball League
Less than a year after the Singapore Slingers went into dormancy, the Republic is aiming to have a professional basketball outfit again, with plans to field a team in a league in Chinese Taipei in 2024.
Plans are afoot to merge two existing basketball leagues in Chinese Taipei the six-team P.League+ (PLG) and the five-team T1 League - and sources say a Singaporean team may join the new competition from November 2024 to May 2025.
If things fall in place, the development is a positive sign for Singapore basketball, after hitting a low in November 2023, when the Asean Basketball League (ABL) and Slingers went into a period of quiescence.
The Straits Times understands that this new team will be privately funded and comprise national and developmental players like the Slingers. But they will have a new name and will play home and away games in Singapore and various Taiwanese cities.
