Petro reach third BAL final, White Jr heroics push debutants Tripoli through
He shot 9-for-14 from the floor, including 3-for-6 from deep, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out two assists, his heroics vital for the BAL debutants to reach the 2025 final, finishing with a game-high 23 points.
White Jnr was joined by Caleb Agada, who came off the bench to score 17 points. Mohamed Sadi and Jaylen Adams notched 13 points each.
'Fabian joined us late but he played as if he had been part of the team and our game plan for years. He is not only a great player but also an even better person. I love him,' said Al Ahli captain Mohamed Sadi.
Sadi is in his second BAL season, having played for AS Douanes in the inaugural campaign. 'Since day one, I have been saying we are going to make history for Libya,' he said.
Last season, the Libyan team Al Ahli Ly finished second. Their Tripoli namesakes will look to go one better.
'Al Ahli Ly Benghazi was in a similar situation last season. This shows how much basketball has improved in Libya,' Sadi said.
