In years to come the 2018-19 season will go down as a game changer in the history of British basketball’s most successful club. But this morning there is very little positive to be said about Newcastle Eagles’ worst campaign for 15 years. A mid-term move to the magnificent Eagles Community Arena will undoubtedly lay the…
The beast will be unleashed in a bid to bolster Newcastle Eagles’ playoff bid after Darius Defoe declared himself fit for the post-season.

Newcastle Eagles’ veteran guard joined Williams in this week’s BBL All Star five after the pair plundered a combined 72 points against Surrey Scorchers.
