Live on TSN, Tonight - Rattlers vs. Alliance
June 28, 2023 - Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL)
Saskatchewan Rattlers News Release
Tonight, will be the first and only time these two teams will face-off in the regular season. Going back to last year, Saskatchewan and Montréal went head-to-head twice, and it was the Rattlers sweeping the series.
With 2022 being the inaugural season for the Alliance, those were the first and only times these teams went at it, meaning Montréal have yet to record a win against their cross-conference opponents.
A few familiar faces from those matchups will look to play a role once again, such as Michael Nuga, Malik Benlevi, Anthony Tsegakele, and D'Andre Bernard for Saskatchewan. On the other side, players like Nathan Cayo, Alain Louis, and Marcus Ottey will be suiting up once again.
Despite some players being a part of the history between these two teams, there will be some newcomers that'll likely make a difference this time around. Rattlers' Justin Wright-Foreman - the current points per game leader in the CEBL - was not on the roster a season ago and has been a powerhouse for Saskatchewan so far.
He leads the squad in average points, rebounds, assists, and steals, and will surely look to continue his strong play as he tries to help his team get consecutive victories for the first time this season. The guard is currently averaging 29 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals per game.
