Abstract
The indoor basketball game system includes a multi-paneled folding backboard with a basketball hoop disposed on it. A winged ball deflector is disposed on the ground adjacent the bottom of the backboard and inclined upwards on the board from the bottom edge to form a ball return feature. The ball return feature of the present system via the deflector allows repeated shooting without worrying about chasing down the ball after every shot. Folding side panels of the backboard pivot to provide blocking sides and stability to the backboard, and can be angled to allow the player to shoot from many different positions. The backboard and deflector can be collapsed for storage and transport.
