APR Vs Kepler 7:30 pm<\/p>\n

Injury-hit Kepler Basketball will be without two of its key players\u2014Chad Bowie and Olivier Turatsinze\u2014when they go up against APR on Thursday, February 6, in the Rwanda Basketball League (RBL).<\/p>\n

Times Sport understands that the two guards suffered minor injuries and are unlikely to be fit in time to play against APR.<\/p>\n

Bowie, 28, has been Kepler\u2019s very important player this season, as their play maker, courtesy of his understanding of the game and brilliant shooting and passing skills.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Turatsinze, who joined from Espoir in December, has not started the new season with the club after picking up an injury during training.<\/p>\n

Kepler are on a 1-1 record from their past two games and are in sixth place with 3 points.<\/p>\n

In other games, scheduled for Friday, February 7, United Generation Basketball (UGB) will be up against Rwanda Energy Group (REG) while Patriots will be looking to return to winning ways ahead of their game against Tigers. Both games will take place at Lyce\u0301e de Kigali Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
