# 2023 AS Douanes men's basketball season

The AS Douanes men's basketball team played the 2023 season in the Nationale 1 (NM1) and the Basketball Africa League (BAL). Having won the previous national championship, the Douanes returned to the BAL after one-year of absence. They signed Terrell Stoglin and Chris Crawford for the season as American import players. On 27 September 2023, AS Douanes won its record-setting 11th national championship, thus overtaking ASFA as the Senegalese club with the most NM1 titles.
In the BAL, the Douanes finished second in the Sahara Conference after they won three straight games to make up for a 0–2 start. In the playoffs they became the first Senegalese team to reach the finals, when they defeated Petro de Luanda in the semifinal. They lost in the final to Al Ahly. Pabi Guèye won the BAL Coach of the Year Award.
On 7 May, AS Douanes also won their 5th Saint Michel Cup.
