The Basketball Tournament India Rising team roster, players list, and schedule: Here’s all you need to know about the basketball tournament schedule and India Rising team players and roster
64 teams will once again participate in a single-elimination tournament for a $1 million top prize in 2023, when the Basketball Tournament (TBT) will be in its tenth year.
India Rising, which has once again brought together some of the world’s top players who are of Indian origin, is participating in TBT for the second year in a row.
Tajinder Lal scored 29 points as India Rising started the tournament with a historic upset win over Red Scare, proving that the second time is indeed the charm.
India Rising in keeping with its aims and objectives is to “bring together the best bowlers in the world, both from the Indian subcontinent and its diaspora,” as it did last year.
Sukhmel Maithon and Kiran Shastri, who previously played for India Rising, are back, and former G League power forward Venky Jois will join the team in 2023.
Who participates in the basketball tournament for India Rising?
A few returning players lead India Rising’s lineup, which also includes a few newcomers. All-Big Sky selection Joice, who played for Eastern Washington and had a seven-year professional career that included time with the G League’s Memphis Hustle and other stints in his native Australia, is one of the key newcomers.
Key returnees include Mathon, Shastri, and Robby Sihota, who scored a game-high 12 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting in the team’s loss to the Syracuse alumni team last season.
