The 60-73 defeat cost Saigon Heat the chance to win the championship, something they had been craving since the 2011 season. Saigon Heat started the 2023 ABL with impressive results and took first place in the group stage. However, the loss of momentum in the final stage due to lack of player depth made Saigon Heat's ambition unsuccessful.

The silver medal at ABL 2023 can be considered a historic mark for Saigon Heat in the regional arena. However, the appearance of Saigon Heat is still not in sync with the achievements of the national team. In the regional arena, the Vietnamese basketball team has not left any achievements, although many high-quality domestic players of Saigon Heat are on the team such as Nguyen Huynh Phu Vinh, Vo Kim Ban or Du Minh An.
Reality shows that in the Vietnamese basketball team, although domestic players have made a lot of progress in recent years, their professional capacity is still limited and not strong enough to create breakthroughs.
Despite its development over the years, basketball is still not really popular in the community. This leads to a scarcity, even a shortage of quality domestic players for domestic clubs and national teams.
Over time, the interest of young people in this sport has been growing over time. However, a systematic plan to develop school basketball has not been properly invested and developed. Those involved hope that these shortcomings will soon be improved. It is necessary to organize tournaments at many levels, young players can only mature if they are constantly rubbed and competed.
Experts believe that Vietnamese basketball needs to soon have a synchronous development plan, thereby attracting the attention of a large number of fans nationwide, only then can there be hope of changing the color of medals in the ABL in the near future.
