Kings to host Play-In Qualifier against Breakers

On the back of Saturday's record-breaking win against the South East Melbourne Phoenix, the Sydney Kings have finished fifth on the NBL24 regular season ladder.

As such, they have earned the right to host this season's Play-In Qualifier, pitting them against the sixth-placed New Zealand Breakers on Wednesday, February 28 at Qudos Bank Arena from 7.30pm AEDT - with the loser being eliminated from contention.

The winner of the NBL23 Championship Series replay will then travel to either Tasmania or Illawarra to battle the loser of the Seeding Qualifier between the JackJumpers and Hawks, which will also be played on February 28 but from 5.30pm AEDT at MyState Bank Arena.

The winner of that contest will then play a three-game Playoff Series against Perth, starting at RAC Arena.

The loser will host the Play-In Game on Monday, March 4 at 7.30pm AEDT - with the winner of this fixture pitted against minor premiers Melbourne United in the Playoff Series.

Tickets for the Hoops Capital side's sudden death Play-In Qualifier will go on sale on Wednesday at 3pm AEDT, with members to be confirmed via email.
