Qualified teams
On 16 March 2023, the BAL incorrectly reported that REG became the first team to qualify for the playoffs.[1] US Monastir and ABC Fighters were also reported to have qualified on 20 March.[2][3] However, only on the last day of the Sahara Conference, the final ranking was determined and the four advancing teams were decided based on their head-to-head point difference.
