Sigal Prishtina is the winner of the Balkan Basketball League for the 2023-2024 season. On Sunday night, the capital city team of Kosovo won the final against AEL of Cyprus with a score of 72-67, a match held in Limassol. The final was intense, but Prishtina was mostly in the lead, deserving the triumph. The Kosovar team also had claims about the refereeing, while tension with the Cypriot crowd was evident, as they threw objects onto the court at the end of the match. Americans Shaheed Davis, Donte Clark, Malcolm Armstead, and Diamond Stone made the difference in the final for Prishtina, which defeated Lovćen of Montenegro in the semifinals.

This was Prishtina’s third success in the Balkan League, following victories in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 editions. However, it remains to be emphasized that this competition has been losing its shine in recent years, with this edition being played with only five teams in total.
