CBL Manager Matt Royal is excited for the league to return to the court after a great but shortened season in 2021/22.
“We can’t wait to see CBL action back for the 22/23 season,” Royal said. “After the success of last year, the new league brand and expansion inside conferences, this season couldn’t come quicker.”
“The league is always growing and we want to welcome the new and returning associations to CBL. We’re looking forward to see what they do this year and counting down to the October 1 tip-off.”
“The country basketball community is as excited as ever with the season just around the corner”
