Strava now recognises Basketball as its own activity type. Pickup, league, training — it all counts. The post in the feed still does not show the score or the result.

What is new

Basketball as a native activity type. Weekly totals include it, clubs can filter for it, and it stops landing in the generic Workout bucket.

FAQ

Can I track points scored on Strava?

Not as a structured field. Add it via the visual recap.

Does shooting practice count?

Yes — log it as Basketball or Workout. UPPOST works either way.
