Basketball fans will be thrilled to know that the details of an ASEAN Basketball League will be announced on Monday, January 19, 2009.

Red Sports has been invited to attend the press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we’ll report back on more details when we get them.

If the league does eventually take off, it will be the first professional sports league in ASEAN and will boost the Singapore sports industry and particularly the development of basketball.

The Singapore Slingers will play in the inaugural league and in all probability, each ASEAN team will see a mix of citizens and imports.

None of the national teams will be involved and the league will be a professional league.

Watch this space for more updates.
