FIBA AfroBasket 2017 was the 29th edition of the AfroBasket, a men's basketball continental championship of Africa.[1] The tournament was jointly hosted by Tunisia and Senegal.[2] Angola was proposed by FIBA Africa to host the tournament, an offer declined as the country is holding general elections in the same period.[3]
Tunisia won their second title after defeating Nigeria 77–65 in the final, while Senegal caught the third place by beating Morocco 73–62.[4]
