Barbados has withdrawn from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) 3×3 Americup 2021.
The Barbados Amateur Basketball Association (BABA) was forced to make the tough decision as COVID-19 restrictions on the island prevented a local season from being staged this year.
As a result, the island’s top senior players will not be competing in the tournament slated for November 12-14 in Miami.

The news was confirmed by BABA president Francis Williams who addressed the media yesterday in a virtual press conference. (AGB)
