team overview

The Macau Black Knights are a professional basketball franchise based in Macau, currently competing as a guest team in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner's Cup, having made history as the first Macau-based organization to enter the league in 2026. Originally established as the Macau Black Bears and a former participant in the East Asia Super League, the club underwent a strategic rebranding to "Black Knights" ahead of the PBA 50 Commissioner's Cup to elevate its competitive identity—symbolically characterized as "the Bears wearing a knight"—while retaining its original organizational structure. The team employs a contemporary, perimeter-oriented offensive system that notably embraces the PBA's four-point line, and functions as a developmental platform enabling Macau athletes to acquire high-level competitive experience against Asia's premier talent. Under the leadership of Head Coach Garrett Kelly and featuring key contributors such as Jenning Leung, Damian Chong Qui, and import player Tony Mitchell, the Black Knights exemplify Macau's expanding footprint in international basketball. The franchise has additionally established itself as a perennial stronghold in the TAT tournament, securing multiple leg championships, and anticipates continued participation as it pursues competitive excellence and championship aspirations.
