PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Native American Basketball Invitational and Arizona’s Family are proud to announced that the biggest all-Native American basketball tournament in North America will air on the Arizona’s Family Sports network.

“Arizona’s Family Sports is proud to add NABI to our programming lineup, which also includes the Phoenix Suns, Mercury, Phoenix Rising, and AIA High School Championships,” said Debbie Bush, VP and General Manager of Arizona’s Family. “We are excited to bring NABI to even more sports fans across Arizona and learn more about NABI’s mission and accomplishments off the court as well.”
