Game Day Guide: Flames v Lynx & Kings v Bullets

NBL & WNBL ROUND 8 | Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings v Brisbane Bullets & Brydens Sydney Uni Flames v Perth Lynx

This Sunday we will make history! For the first time the Kings will curtain raise for the Flames, who are going up against Perth Lynx. It’s going to be an epic outing for Hoops fans who should expect a fired up Kings to take the court in what could be a critical match up against the Bullets.

Stick around for the Flames game as you could win courtside seats for one of our future home games! Winners will be announced at half-time of the Flames game.

The Bullets are a strong offensive team, led by bronze medallist Nathan Sobey and their two star imports Lamar Patterson and Robert Franks. The Lynx are a dangerous offensive team too, with WNBA no. 1 pick Jackie Young and Asia Cup bronze medallist Sami Whitcomb. This should be a great double dose of hoops on Sunday!

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.
