Round 9 Kings & Wildcats: Game Day Guide

NBL & WNBL ROUND 9 | Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings v Perth Wildcats & Brydens Sydney Uni Flames v Southside Flyers

The Brydens Sydney Uni Flames are taking on the Southside Flyers on Sunday. The Flyers have four players who have been selected for the Opals squad of 16 for the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. It will be a good test for the Flames going into the FIBA break.

The Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings will take on the Perth Wildcats in another instalment of their bitter rivalry. The Kings v Perth games have always been popcorn craving games since the 2020 NBL Grand Final. This will not be any different!
