Ulinzi Warriors Gear Up for Crucial KNBL Double-Header

Nairobi, Kenya – The Ulinzi Warriors are entering battle mode this weekend as they brace for a high-stakes double-header that could significantly shape their path to another Kenya National Basketball League (KNBL) championship. With the regular season nearing its close, every game has become a must-win for the disciplined and determined squad led by Head Coach Bernard Mufutu.

The Warriors will take on the Strathmore Blades this Saturday at Nyayo Gymnasium, followed by a pivotal showdown against the Equity Dumas on Sunday at the Ulinzi Sports Complex. Coach Mufutu is confident in his team’s preparation, noting a week of intense training has sharpened their focus.

“We’re taking it one game at a time,” Mufutu said. “They’re not easy teams, but we’ll do our best to get a positive outcome as we head into the playoffs.”

Ulinzi currently holds 30 points from 18 games, with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses. With just four games remaining in the regular season, they’re well-positioned to lock in a top playoff seed. Two wins this weekend would provide a major momentum boost heading into the postseason.

While Strathmore Blades have struggled this season, the Equity Dumas pose a more immediate threat—trailing Ulinzi by just a single point with 29 points from 19 games. Sunday’s clash is shaping up to be a decisive contest in the race for playoff positioning.

With home-court energy expected to lift their performance, the Ulinzi Warriors are ready to show the league they mean business. This weekend isn’t just about points—it’s about making a statement: the Warriors are still a force in the KNBL title race.
