Sport invented by James Naismith in 1891 (10)

I believe the answer is:

basketball

(Other definitions for basketball that I've seen before include "Team game" , "that's contested in court" , "American game" , "Game involving two hoops" , "Major US sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
