Nigerian champions, Kwara Falcons, who lost their first game of the 2023 Basketball Africa League (BAL) to Rwanda Energy Group at the Dakar Arena, at the weekend, will, today, try to put their title ambitions back on track, when they meet Mali’s Stade Malien in their second game of the competition.
