Spurs Guard Devin Vassell Signals Interest in Representing Jamaica
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell has expressed a strong desire to represent Jamaica on the international basketball stage and has pledged to rally other NBA players of Jamaican descent to join the movement. His statement comes as the Jamaica Basketball Association (JaBA) continues its push to strengthen the national team with top-tier talent. Speaking at his inaugural basketball clinic at Herbert Morrison Technical High School in Montego Bay, where he donated basketball gear to student athletes from across western Jamaica, Vassell made his intentions clear. “I’m 100 percent willing to play for the national team. I definitely want to play,” Vassell said. “I’ll be reaching out to some of the other guys who have Jamaican ties to see if they’re interested as well. I can’t speak for them, but I can speak for myself, I want to represent Jamaica.” Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Vassell is eligible to wear the black, green, and gold thanks to his father, Andrew, a native of Runaway Bay, St. Ann. JaBA President Paulton Gordon welcomed Vassell’s commitment, describing it as a major step toward reconnecting diaspora players with their roots. “We’re elated. It aligns perfectly with our goal to ensure that every player with Jamaican heritage has a clear path to represent the country,” Gordon said. While Gordon acknowledged the abundance of homegrown talent, he emphasized that nearly half of Jamaica’s basketball potential lies overseas. He said JaBA is actively working to merge diaspora resources players and coaches alike with local programs to elevate the national setup. Still, challenges remain. Under current FIBA regulations, players must acquire their passport before the age of 16 to represent a country without restriction. Although three NBA players already meet this requirement, Gordon noted that others are in the process of securing Jamaican citizenship. “There’s a window for appeal through FIBA, based on a player’s connection to the country,” Gordon explained. “We’re working that avenue to bring more elite players on board.” Gordon expressed confidence that these efforts will lay the groundwork for a powerful Jamaican national team capable of competing in the FIBA Americas, World Cup qualifiers, and even the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Among those eligible to represent Jamaica through paternal lineage are Toronto Raptors All-Star Scottie Barnes and Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart. Norman Powell (Los Angeles Clippers) and Josh Minott (Minnesota Timberwolves) have already committed and are expected to suit up for the FIBA World Cup Americas Pre-Qualifiers in August. Twin brothers Amen and Ausar Thompson, of the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons respectively, have also shown interest and have already acquired Jamaican passports.

Lebron Lewison led with 14 points and 6 rebounds, while Anthony “Flimo” White contributed a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double. Derjean Royal added 11 points and 5 boards. Though the Rebels’ season ends here, Omari Green (11 pts, 15 rebs) and Tommy McDonald (10 pts, 8 rebs) fought valiantly to keep hopes alive.The Eagles now gear up for a finals showdown with the defending champs, Urban Knights. 🏀🔥

Lady Celtics Complete Fairytale Run, Crowned 2025 WNBL Champions in Overtime Thriller
From 1-5 in the early rounds to WNBL champions, the Lady Celtics have authored one of the most remarkable turnarounds in league history. In a heart-stopping Game 3 finale, they edged out the Lady Eagles 63-61 in overtime, sealing a championship that once seemed out of reach. The Eagles held a narrow 15-14 lead after the first quarter, but turnovers and missed chances allowed the Celtics to seize momentum, surging ahead 36-25 by halftime. With a game plan built on perimeter shooting and fast-break conversions, the Celtics extended their lead to 50-41 by the end of the third.The final minutes were pure drama. The Eagles clawed back, cutting the deficit to 56-55, and after a late-game injury and missed free throws by the Celtics, they tied it at 59 with under 20 seconds left. A contested Celtics shot at the buzzer rimmed out, sending the game into overtime.Exhausted but undeterred, the Celtics dug deep. Finals MVP Peatri-Ann Buchanan led the charge with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 7 steals. She was flanked by Dhanyel Johnson, who delivered a clutch 18-point, 14-rebound, 4-block performance, and Kalia Livingston, who added 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Despite a heroic 31-point, 7-steal effort from Carissa Robinson, and solid support from Shaday Gordon with 14 points and 7 rebounds, the Eagles fell just short. The Lady Celtics’ journey from last place to league champions is not just a Cinderella story it’s a legacy in the making. 🏆✨
