Game day guide: Round 15 vs Adelaide Lightning

The Sydney Flames will be looking to end their WNBL23 home campaign on a high on Friday night when they host the Adelaide Lightning at Quaycentre.

The Round 15 fixture will not only represent the Hoops Capital club’s last home game of WNBL23 but also their first-ever Pink Game.

For the clash, the Flames, in partnership with The McGrath Foundation, will aim to turn Quaycentre and raise much-needed funds for breast cancer research – with the club’s partners and owners throwing their support behind the initiative.
