Several Lebanese Basketball League teams have expressed interest in American guard Antino Jackson, who impressed with his performances in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) this season while representing RSSB Tigers (Rwanda). Sources indicate that Jackson is among the names being monitored as clubs continue building their rosters for the upcoming campaign.
Jackson, a 1.83 m (6’0”) point guard, is known for his speed, shot creation, and ability to control the tempo of the game. He is a dynamic scorer who can create his own offense while also involving teammates, making him an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen their backcourt.
During the 2026 BAL season, Jackson averaged:
- 11.7 points
- 1.9 rebounds
- 6.0 assists
- 1.7 steals
- 28.3 minutes per game across 9 games.
Before his success in Africa, Jackson built valuable experience in Europe, spending time with Virtus Cassino and NPC Rieti in Italy’s Serie A2 before later competing with BC Šiauliai in Lithuania’s top division and Afyon Belediyesi in Turkey’s second division. Those stops helped him develop into a seasoned floor general capable of adapting to different playing styles and high-level competition.
One of his biggest moments in this year’s BAL came when he knocked down the game-winning three-pointer to lift RSSB Tigers to a dramatic victory over Petro de Luanda, further highlighting his ability to deliver in clutch situations.
With his combination of playmaking, perimeter scoring, and defensive intensity, Antino Jackson has emerged as one of the more intriguing guards available on the international market. As Lebanese clubs continue exploring options ahead of next season, the former RSSB Tigers floor general is a player to keep an eye on.
