Proud to say London is the @NBA’s second home 🏀

Basketball is the fastest-growing sport in our city - that's why I’m investing £1.5m to improve facilities and create more opportunities for young Londoners ⬇️

📝 Welcome back, Tarik Phillip.

The British-American guard, returns to the London Lions for the 2025/26 season.

At 6 ft 3, the Brooklyn-born guard brings international experience and a winning mentality. He first joined the Lions in 2022, playing a key role in securing back-to-back BBL titles, a BBL Cup and a British Championship. During his time in London, he earned BBL All-Defensive and All-British honours.

A standout at West Virginia University, Phillip earned Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year in 2017 before going on to play professionally in Hungary, Spain, the NBA G-League, Turkey, Italy, Poland and Israel. He has also represented Great Britain at the international level, including at EuroBasket 2022.

The Lion is back. Let’s run it again.

Introducing the new identity of the London Lions.

The London Lions are entering a new chapter - one built on bold ambition, global relevance, and deep roots in the city we represent. Our rebrand is more than a change of look - it’s a statement of intent. A visual and cultural identity that reflects who we are now, and where we’re going next.
