The ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) will tip off this season with the participation of two teams from Taiwan, one of them being the Fubon Braves that won the national Super Basketball League (SBL) earlier this year, the ABL said Wednesday.

The Fubon Braves will play their debut ABL game against the Macau Black Bears on Nov.16 on their home court at the Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium, the ABL said in a statement.

The team won their first championship trophy in May, after defeating the Taiwan Beer in a four-game sweep in Taiwan's semi-professional SBL.

The Fubon Braves will enter the new ABL season with a roster that includes local players Joseph Lin and Lin Chih-chieh (林志傑) and imports Charles Garcia and NBA veteran OJ Mayo, the ABL said.    [FULL  STORY]
