“We have two leagues under the MIBL that we were supposed to launch this May and June,” league co-commissioner Clint Albert said. “The MIBL 3×3 season 2 was set for May and the AK-Toyota MIBL Semi-Pro Basketball League was scheduled for June.”

He said as soon as things are back to normal, MIBL will launch season 2 of the semi-pro tournament first, and this will be followed by the 3×3 event.
Albert said they want a more thrilling semi-pro tournament. “We plan to make the experience bigger, better, and exciting for the fans and teams. One of the things we will launch is a cheer team. Prior to the season, we will announce an audition to look for potential cheer leaders to form a team and represent the league.”

He added, “We are thankful for the support and trust of Mr. Clark Boswell of AK-Toyota and the company, for without them our semi-pro dream will not have been possible. And we also hope to see the same teams and support from last year.”
