Fixtures secretary Caleb Osewe has announced that the 2022 Nairobi Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs will tip off on October 1.
The provincial league regular season that started on April 23 with a total of 41 teams in the two categories, will end in late September.
"All teams are expected to finish the matches later next month. After that I will draw the fixtures for the post-season," said Osewe.
He said the top eight teams from the two men's conferences will advance alongside another eight from the women's category.
"The men will start off the two conferences with the round of 16. After two game elimination, the winners will move to the quarters," he said.
"The ladies on the other hand will go straight to the quarters which will be played on the best of three series."
