In 2020, Selorm Thomas Amediku took over as head coach of the Knights.
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. James Amotoe was named the finals MVP.
The Knights played in the 2025 BAL qualification, and were the first Ghanian team to advance to the Elite 16.
