Game Day Guide: Flames v Fire, Kings v Breakers

February 5, 2022 | Sydney Flames news

NBL & WNBL ROUND 10 | Brydens Sydney Uni Flames v Townsville Fire & Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings v NZ Breakers 

The Flames will take on the Townsville Fire at home in Qudos Bank Arena. The Fire were grand finals runner-up from last season. With most of their core intact they are a dangerous team. The Flames will be without Shyla Hela due to being selected in the Opals team for Serbia.

The Kings will take on the New Zealand Breakers. The Breakers have got their star point guard Peyton Siva back, along with Yanni Wetzwell and Finn Delany who are both All-NBL candidates. So, you can’t count the Breakers out of any game with them.

As has been over the last two seasons, home games will be played in conjunction with NSW Health Guidelines and public health orders, NBL protocols and the Qudos Bank Arena Covid-19 Safe Plan.

We ask that you also please read the below information as you have an important role to play in ensuring the health and safety of all patrons within the venue.
