Stars from across the sports world were on and off the court last night at Qudos Bank Arena in our home opener in a win over Melbourne United.
On the court, the Kings debuted the three-headed import trio of Jaylen Adams, RJ Hunter and Jarell Martin. While Matthew Dellavedova made his NBL debut with Melbourne United.
But in the crowd of over eight thousand, it was a who’s who of sports stars. Including tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios, who sat courtside wearing our Biwali Bayles’ jersey.
