Basketball Federation now says league to tip off on Feb 20 after several postponements

 The much awaited Kenyan Basketball Federation league tipoff is now set for February 20, the federation has said.

In a statement the federation said that the new date was arrived at following a meeting between the National Executive Committee, after consultations with clubs.

The federation however fell short of publishing the fixture list, noting that it would be communicated through 'official channels'.

The league was initially scheduled to tip off on January 23, but was pushed back to February 6 before being deferred again.

Nairobi City Thunder and Kenya Ports Authority are the defending champions of the men’s and women's premier leagues respectively, and will be aiming to defend their crowns.
