In 2020, Selorm Thomas Amediku took over as head coach of the Knights.[3]
The following seasons, they improved drastically, and won their first ABL Division 1 title in 2023, when they finished the season unbeaten with 22 wins in as many games.[5] James Amotoe was named the finals MVP.[5]
The Knights played in the 2025 BAL qualification,[3] and were the first Ghanian team to advance to the Elite 16.[6]
