BAL: The NBA-backed Basketball Africa League to tip off in Kigali, Rwanda

The inaugural, NBA-backed Basketball Africa League (BAL) tips off in Kigali, Rwanda on 16 May.

The tournament is yet another sign the NBA has its eyes on the continent - but what does it all mean for the continent?

The new professional league, a partnership between the International Basketball Federation and the NBA, is set to feature 12 African club teams.
