# 2024 APR BBC season

In the 2024 season for APR played internationally in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) and domestically in the Rwanda Basketball League (RBL). The team played in the BAL following their championship in the 2023 season, that ended a 14-year title drought for APR. It was the second season under coach Maz Trakh.
In national competition, APR won the double by winning both the RBL and the inaugural Rwandan Cup. In the BAL, they were eliminated in the conference phase, becoming the first Rwandan team to not qualify for the playoffs.

## Overview

APR began their training in December 2023, when they ended a residential camp. In February, APR will have a 10-day a training camp in Qatar, where they will face the Qatar national team, among others. Maz Trakh continued as head coach, and was joined by former NBA assistant coach Bill Bayno.
In May 2024, APR played the Sahara Conference. After a 2–1 start, APR lost all of its three games in the third round. Ahead of the final game day star players Obadiah Noel (hamstring) and Adonis Filer (achilles tendon) were unable to play due to injuries. A win in the final game against AS Douanes would have given the Rwandans a playoff spot, however, Douanes defeated APR 79–54. It was the first time in league history that there was no Rwandan team in the playoffs.
