WNBL announcement
Looks like WNBL screwed the smaller teams yet again. The stronger teams will have all the opals and the rest can not get imports. What is the logic?



james harvey fan could you explain / break that post down for me please ? restricted players unable to sign ? what will they do ?

“Although hopeful of being able to play all games in front of crowds, as part of the financial modelling for 2020-21 Chemist Warehouse WNBL season, Basketball Australia and the WNBL Commission confirm that it has planned on a scenario of some games being contested without fans in attendance due to uncertainty around exactly when COVID-19 restrictions on mass gatherings will be removed.“

Basketball Australia can today confirm that Free Agency for the 2020-21 Chemist Warehouse WNBL Season will open at 1.00pm AEST today, Thursday 4 June, when the eight WNBL clubs will be able to begin negotiating with any Unrestricted Free Agents....
This financial modelling has also taken into consideration that WNBL clubs will not have Restricted Players on their roster for the 2020-21 season.
“With COVID-19 set to impact the finances of the league and clubs for next season, Basketball Australia and the WNBL Commission have made a number of determinations to best support the future of the league and assist the national team achieve its goal of claiming gold at the Tokyo Olympics and 2022 World Cup.”
“One of those decisions was to focus on showcasing the depth of local talent in 2020-21, with Restricted Players ineligible to be signed by WNBL clubs for the upcoming season,” concluded Lauren Jackson.

Just excited to hear when the sixers will announce the new coach,my gut feeling comes down to two coaches.....Joey Wright or Trevor Gleeson ,and hope Maher get assistant coaching role. Does anyone know when the announcement be made.
