The NAM Blazers are gearing up to take on the formidable City Oilers in what promises to be an electrifying match in the latest National Basketball League (NBL) action. The NBL Wednesday results saw Dmark Power secure a victory over Kampala Rockets with a score of 72-60, while KCCA Leopards dominated UPDF Lady Tomahawks with a commanding 100-50 win.
Tonight’s lineup features another exciting clash between JKL Dolphins and UCU Lady Canons at 7 pm, followed by the highly anticipated showdown between Namuwongo Blazers and City Oilers at 9 pm.
Last season, the Namuwongo Blazers made headlines with their withdrawal from the NBL just days before the finals. This decision came in the wake of FUBA’s announcement that the champions of the 2023 season would not represent Uganda in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) Campaign for 2023/24.
The absence of Blazers in the finals deprived basketball enthusiasts of a thrilling match against the reigning champions, City Oilers. The Oilers have maintained an impressive unbeaten record in the current season, winning all five of their games so far. Meanwhile, their opponents, the Blazers, have played six games, securing victory in five.

Key players including Ivan Muhwezi, James Okello, Tony Drilleba, Fayed Baale, and Titus Odeke are set to return to the court for the Oilers after representing the Silverbacks in the AfroBasket Qualifiers held in Tunisia last month.
Tonight’s game between the Blazers and Oilers promises to be a spectacle, offering fans the excitement they missed out on in the previous season’s finals.
Before the Blazers-Oilers clash, at 7 pm, basketball enthusiasts can witness another intense matchup between UCU Lady Canons and JKL Lady Dolphins. Last season, the Lady Dolphins dominated the playoffs, sweeping the Lady Canons 3-0. However, the Lady Canons bounced back to claim victory against KIU Rangers in a thrilling series, securing the championship title.
UCU Lady Canons will be seeking redemption after their previous defeat, while JKL Lady Dolphins aim to maintain their unbeaten streak in the current season, having secured victories in all four of their matches.
The stage is set for an exhilarating evening of basketball, with top teams battling it out for supremacy in the NBL.
