BWB Asia 2022 will mark the first time the NBA and FIBA&rsquo;s global basketball development and community outreach program will be held in Asia-Pacific since 2019 in Japan and the first in Australia since 2016 in Melbourne. &nbsp;The camp will bring together the top male and female players ages 18 and under from throughout Asia-Pacific to compete alongside their peers from across the region and learn directly from current and former NBA, WNBA and FIBA players and coaches.
The campers will be coached by NBA players Jarrett Allen (2022 NBA All-Star for the Cleveland Cavaliers; U.S.), Josh Green (Dallas Mavericks; Australia), Cameron Johnson (Phoenix Suns; U.S.) and Coby White (Chicago Bulls; U.S.). &nbsp;NBA assistant coaches Damian Cotter (Bulls; Australia), David Akinyooye (Oklahoma City Thunder; U.S.) and Eric Glass (Miami Heat; U.S.); New York Knicks international scout and Serbia Men&rsquo;s National Team assistant coach Adam Tatalovich (U.S.); former WNBA players Kristi Harrower (Australia) and Annie La Fleur (Australia); and former Australia Women&rsquo;s National Team player Jenni Screen (Australia) will also serve as BWB Asia coaches.
Patrick Hunt (President of the World Association of Basketball Coaches; Australia) will serve as camp director, while Dan Shimensky (Denver Nuggets; U.S.) will serve as the camp&rsquo;s athletic trainer.
Players and coaches will lead campers through a variety of activities, including movement efficiency drills, offensive and defensive skill stations, three-point contests, 5-on-5 games, and life skills and leadership development sessions. &nbsp;A ceremony on the final day of the camp will award the BWB Asia 2022 MVP, Defensive MVP, Three-Point Champion and the Patrick Baumann Sportsmanship Award to the boys and girls who distinguish themselves on the court and as leaders.
A record 41 former BWB campers were among the record 121 international players on 2021-22 NBA opening-night rosters, including 2022 NBA All-Rookie Second Team member and NBA Global Academy graduate Josh Giddey (Thunder; Australia; BWB Asia 2018 and BWB Global 2020), Green (BWB Global 2018) and 2020 NBA All-Rookie Second Team member Rui Hachimura (Washington Wizards; Japan; BWB Global 2016).
The NBA and FIBA have hosted 64 BWB camps in 30 countries since the program&rsquo;s launch in 2001. &nbsp;BWB has reached more than 3,800 participants from 133 countries and territories, with 105 former campers having advanced to the NBA or WNBA.
BWB Asia 2022 will be supported by Nike, which will outfit participants with Nike apparel and footwear, and Gatorade, which will keep players and coaches hydrated throughout the camp.

UConn women&rsquo;s basketball star Paige Bueckers tore the ACL in her left knee during a pickup game and will miss the entire 2022-23 season, the school announced Wednesday.
UConn said in a statement that Bueckers suffered the injury Monday and underwent an MRI that evening. It did not say where the junior guard from Hopkins, Minnesota, was playing when the injury occurred. It was the same knee she injured last year, causing her to miss significant time.
In a statement posted on her Instagram account, Bueckers said she is leaning on her faith to move forward.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s so so crazy because you work so hard to get back healthy, you feel stronger than ever, and you are playing your best basketball and with one sudden movement it all shifts,&rdquo; she wrote. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s hard trying to make sense of it all now but I can&rsquo;t help but think that God is using me as a testimony as to how much you can overcome with Him by your side.&rdquo;
Bueckers was named the 2020-21 AP national player of the year, becoming the first freshman to earn that honor. She averaged 20.1 points, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game that season.
She missed 19 games last season after suffering a left knee tibia plateau fracture and torn meniscus in early December. But Bueckers returned to lead the Huskies to the Final Four, where the Huskies lost to South Carolina in the championship game at Target Center in Minneapolis, which is 10 miles from her hometown.
She finished the season averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re all devastated for Paige,&rdquo; UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s worked really hard to get stronger and healthier this offseason, and this is an unfortunate setback. Paige is obviously an amazing basketball player, but she&rsquo;s a better person and teammate and it&rsquo;s really unfortunate that this has happened to her. We&rsquo;ll miss her presence on the court, but she&rsquo;ll do everything she can to still lead and help her teammates this season. Our program will support Paige through her healing process to help her come back better and stronger.&rdquo;
UConn said Bueckers will undergo surgery on Friday at UConn Health in Farmington.
&ldquo;There is going to be good days and there is going to be bad days but my absolute love for the game and Godly strength will get me back to where I need to be,&rdquo; Bueckers wrote. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve worked too hard for the little kid in these pictures to keep going for the dreams I&rsquo;ve had since I first picked up the ball, so why would I stop now? The prayers and love means so much to me and the doubts that I won&rsquo;t get back to where I was might mean even more. God put a dream in my heart and even if I have to walk through a nightmare to get it I&rsquo;m going to keep believing.&rdquo;

UConn said in a statement that Paige Bueckers suffered the injury Monday and underwent an MRI that evening.

DAYTON, Aug. 2, 2022 - Blue Collar U&rsquo;s TBT debut came to a screeching halt with a semi-final loss to Team 23 last summer. This year, the University of Buffalo alumni squad left no doubt as to who TBT&rsquo;s best team was.
Nick Perkins led the way with 19 points, and five players reached double figures for Blue Collar U, which never trailed en route to an 89-67 victory over Americana for Autism in TBT's 2022 $1 million, winner-take-all TBT championship game. Blue Collar U received the $1 million prize via Zelle during the team's postgame celebration.
C.J. Massinburg scored 18 points, Wes Clark added 17 and Lamonte Bearden had 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting for the victors, who captured their first TBT title. Blake Hamilton had 11 points, eight rebounds and a game-high five steals.
&ldquo;[Winning TBT] means everything,&rdquo; said Massinburg, who was named the tournament&rsquo;s MVP. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why we play. It&rsquo;s one thing to play with a team of talented guys that somebody just put together. We can hold each other accountable, and that gave us the competitive edge.&rdquo;
Clark, who was named to the All-Tournament Team and has never lost in nine TBT games, scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half.
&ldquo;These guys give me so much confidence&hellip;and make me feel above the world,&rdquo; said Clark. &ldquo;The compliments are more to [my teammates].&rdquo;
Montell McRae, who made the final dunk in the Elam Ending to capture the title for Blue Collar U, received a $10,000 bonus for making the championship-winning shot in a pair of Pumas.
The core of Blue Collar U won three Mid-American Conference titles in four years, and the team grew close to the city of Buffalo, which continues to heal from this spring&rsquo;s fatal supermarket shooting. Of the 13 players on the roster, 10 of them have one of the victims&rsquo; names on the back of their jersey, while the remaining three say &ldquo;Buffalo Strong.&rdquo;
The city of Buffalo rallied around Blue Collar U as TBT continued this summer, and watch parties were commonplace in western New York on Tuesday night.
&ldquo;This means everything for Buffalo,&rdquo; said Massinburg. &ldquo;I know that we&rsquo;ve got a lot of support. A lot of fans were watching. Our phones are going crazy right now. The city was behind us.&rdquo;
Tuesday's championship game capped TBT's ninth year. TBT&rsquo;s attendance for this year's event grew 60% over its previous record (set in 2021), and ticket revenue is up 30% from its previous record as well (also 2021). Nine games from four different locations in 2022 cracked TBT&rsquo;s top 15 all-time game attendance list, including games in Wichita, Dayton, Charleston (WV), and Albuquerque.
Blue Collar U improves to 10-1 all-time in two TBT summers and cleaned up this summer&rsquo;s awards as well. Massinburg (15.2 ppg) took home the MVP award. Clark and Perkins join Massinburg on the All-Tournament team. Guards Scoochie Smith (Red Scare) and Chris Warren (Florida TNT) round out the All-Tournament squad.&nbsp;
Blue Collar U becomes the fourth straight alumni team to win the TBT title, joining Carmen&rsquo;s Crew (The Ohio State University, 2019), the Golden Eagles (Marquette University, 2020) and Boeheim&rsquo;s Army (Syracuse University, 2021). College alumni teams have won five of the nine TBT titles. Overseas Elite leads TBT with four titles (2015-2018).
Blue Collar coach Adam Bauman took home the Coach of the Year award, while Americana for Autism&rsquo;s Griffin Taylor was named the GM of the Year.

It was an 89-67 victory for Blue Collar U over Americana for Autism in TBT's 2022 $1 million, winner-take-all TBT championship game.

Two second-year TBT teams playing for meaningful causes meet up in Tuesday night’s $1 million championship game.

Blue Collar U, Americana for Autism to meet in 2022 TBT Championship

BOSTON, Aug. 1, 2022 &ndash; The Basketball Tournament (TBT) &ndash; the $1 million, winner-take-all, summer basketball event broadcast live on ESPN networks today revealed several attendance records for the 2022 event ahead of Tuesday&rsquo;s championship game.&nbsp;
TBT&rsquo;s attendance for the ninth year of its event is up 60% over its previous record (set in 2021), and ticket revenue is up 30% from its previous record as well (also 2021). Nine games from four different locations in 2022 cracked TBT&rsquo;s top 15 all-time game attendance list, including games in Wichita, Dayton, Charleston (WV), and Albuquerque.
TBT built partnerships with Xavier University, Wichita State University, the University of New Mexico, Creighton University, and the University of Dayton to have them host games highlighted by an alumni team from their respective university as well as utilize players from the school&rsquo;s current men&rsquo;s basketball team for NIL activations, helping to drive fan interest. TBT also hosted Quarterfinal games at Dayton and Wichita state which included both school&rsquo;s alumni teams, creating a raucous, home court atmosphere for TBT&rsquo;s final rounds. TBT plans to expand their home court quarterfinal model and NIL involvement in 2023.
TBT also created successful city partnerships with the Charleston (WV) Convention and Visitors Bureau, as well as the City of New York, to put on the event&rsquo;s remaining two regionals. TBT&rsquo;s Rucker Park Regional, played at Greg Marius Court in New York City&rsquo;s world famous Rucker park, was the first outdoor event in TBT history.
&ldquo;Outside of our COVID year in 2020, we&rsquo;ve now experienced eight years of year-over-year growth across all major revenue streams,&rdquo; said TBT Founder/CEO Jon Mugar. &ldquo;The product has always been our focus, we&rsquo;ve spent a good deal of time refining it, and fans are increasingly taking notice.&rdquo;
TBT&rsquo;s $1M, winner-take-all championship game will feature two teams playing for a cause: Americana for Autism, the Rucker Park Regional champion, and Blue Collar U, the University of Buffalo alumni team and Syracuse Regional Champion. Both are making their first appearance in a TBT championship game.
Americana for Autism, is playing to raise money for autism research. Three players on the team &ndash; Delroy James, Isaiah Swann, and J&rsquo;Covan Brown &ndash; have children with autism.&nbsp;
Blue Collar U, a second-year TBT team who made TBT&rsquo;s semifinals in their debut last summer, has the second-highest winning percentage in TBT history, with an all-time record of 9-1.. Composed of alumni from the University of Buffalo, the team is led by CJ Massinburg, Wes Clark, and Nick Perkins. They are playing to honor the 10 victims from the Buffalo supermarket shooting in May. Of the 13 players on the roster, 10 of them have one of the victims&rsquo; names on the back of their jersey, while the remaining three say &ldquo;Buffalo Strong.&rdquo;
The championship will take place Tuesday night Aug. 2 at 8 pm ET live on ESPN from Dayton, Ohio. One player will hit the million dollar, game-winning shot during the Elam Ending&reg; to give his team its first TBT title.

ATLANTA (July 28, 2022) - Overtime Elite kicked off day four of its signing week with the announcement of point guard Jeremy Fears and big man Jayden Williams. Both players bring elite skill sets and a competitive edge to the league as season two kicks off this fall in Atlanta. Fears and Williams join other highly-coveted prospects including Naas Cunningham, Trey Parker, Kanaan Carlyle, Jahki Howard, Bryson Tiller, ZZ Clark and Tyler Bey as OTE&rsquo;s newest signees. Fears and Williams have signed a scholarship option preserving their NCAA basketball eligibility.
As season two approaches, Fears and Williams will compete against some of the best teenage basketball players including Ausar and Amen Thompson, Jazian Gortman, and Alexandre Sarr. Building on the success of OTE&rsquo;s historic first season, Fears and Williams&rsquo; games will be showcased for millions of fans this season across social media channels and YouTube.
Fears is a 6&rsquo;1&rdquo; point guard from Joliet, Illinois. He is a savvy point guard that loves to get his teammates involved first with great vision on the court. He can also finish well around the basket and has a quick release. He has had a big summer playing in the FIBA U17 World Cup in Malaga, Spain, earning honorable mention honors from ESPN for being one of the best players in the tournament. In the championship game, Fears finished with 17 points and a game-high six assists in a 79-67 win over Spain for the title. It was his second experience with USA Basketball after winning a gold medal in the FIBA U16 Americas Championship in Mexico last summer. Fears is currently committed to play at Michigan State.
&ldquo;Jeremy&rsquo;s competitive spirit is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about the dynamic he brings to our league,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s the definition of a competitive and elite defender that will add toughness and physicality to our program. He plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder which makes him difficult to guard and even more difficult to escape on defense.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Jeremy is a true point guard and makes everyone on his team better when he&rsquo;s on the floor,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s had some great experiences already playing with USA Basketball and high level players all over the world, so he&rsquo;ll bring that into our program as we continue developing his game.&rdquo;
Williams is a five star, 6&rsquo;9&rdquo; center from Chicago. He most recently played at Brookwood High School in Lilburn, Georgia where he was a force in the paint on both ends of the floor using his 7-5 wingspan and athleticism. Last season, he recorded a triple double with 10 blocks. Williams has also developed his outside shot and can stretch the floor. Williams plays AAU for the Atlanta Celtics.
&ldquo;Jayden&rsquo;s shot blocking and finishing at the rim is a welcome addition to our front court,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;Two of the things that stand out about Jayden are his ability to run the floor, and he can catch and finish through traffic.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Jayden&rsquo;s an elite player with a large upside who will benefit tremendously from our development resources,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t teach the length and athleticism he brings to the court, so as he uses OTE&rsquo;s resources to continue developing his overall game, his potential is limitless.&rdquo;
Every contracted OTE player is offered a six-figure salary, with a guaranteed minimum salary of at least $100,000 per year, plus bonuses and shares of equity in Overtime. In addition, players will participate in revenue from use of their name, image and likeness, including through sales of custom jerseys, trading cards, video games and NFTs. Starting this season, players have the option to choose a scholarship or salary option.&nbsp;

Clark is a 6&rsquo;2&rdquo; point guard from Brentwood, Tennessee. He committed to Illinois after a standout sophomore season at Windermere Prep in Orlando, Florida. The strong, explosive guard averaged 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals leading his team to a 20-8 record before losing in the FHSAA Class 3A regional semifinals to the eventual state champions during his sophomore season. He played AAU for The Skill Factory this summer. His brother, Skyy Clark, will be a freshman at Illinois this fall.
&ldquo;If you&rsquo;ve seen ZZ play, you know he&rsquo;s an electric playmaker in the open court,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &nbsp;&ldquo;His unparalleled discipline makes him a true floor general, and the competition in our program is going to help maximize his potential to be a lockdown defender.
&ldquo;ZZ is joining a group of elite ball handlers at OTE and I&rsquo;m excited to see him thrive in our league,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be pushed daily to be the best playmaker, and I&rsquo;m looking forward to seeing his confidence on the court translate into competition.&rdquo;
Bey is a 6&rsquo;8&rdquo; small forward from Newark, New Jersey. Last year, he played at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, California and helped lead them to a city championship. Being from New Jersey, he&rsquo;s played for the NY Rens with former OTE, and current San Antonio Spurs player Dominick Barlow and new OTE signee Naas Cunningham before playing for the Oakland Soldiers this summer. &nbsp;Long, athletic and capable of hitting shots from deep, he has three and d potential at the next level and has seen his recruitment take off this summer. Bey plays hard and is very active on the offensive glass.
&ldquo;The striking thing about Tyler is his tremendous size and skill for his position,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;His activity on the glass makes him a valuable rebounder who will bring a scrappy energy and unmatched work ethic, and his consistency will add skill and depth to our league.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;The first thing I noticed about Tyler is his size and his potential for development,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s committed to the work and has seen the benefits of our OTE resources through his relationship with Dominick Barlow. I&rsquo;m excited to see him follow in Dom&rsquo;s footsteps and take advantage of all the development opportunities in our league.&rdquo;
