Game day guide: Round two vs Adelaide

Sydney Kings vs Adelaide 36ers - Sunday, October 8
Fresh off Saturday's strong win against the Illawarra Hawks and Friday's loss to Tasmania, our Sydney Kings will return home to Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday, October 8 for the first time this season, when they host the Adelaide 36ers. A big crowd of more than 14,000 is expected so please plan to arrive early as there is certain to be traffic (if arriving by private car) and queues on entry.
The night, which will include the unveiling of the NBL23 championship banner and the presentation of the player's rings, marks the first time Kings fans will be able to watch new recruits Denzel Valentine, Alex Toohey, Makuach Maluach, Jasper Rentoy and Klairus Amir in person - as well as the returning NBL22 MVP Jaylen Adams.
