Brisbane gearing to blaze back into WNBL
.jpeg)
JUST in case you missed our recent early WNBL off-season deep dive, look out because the lack of a league presence in Brisbane is coming to a sudden halt. It looks very much that after Tasmania Jewels enter the league in 2026-27, a new Brisbane franchise will be next in 2027-28.
Good, Bad and the Ugly of a title run

ALL Hail Sydney! The Kings have now hit the NBL Championship for six but credit Adelaide too. Taking a best-of-five Grand Final to the fifth game and only then losing in overtime in itself was quite the feat. That really is going the (long) distance. Inevitably, the 36ers came up empty but no, Xavier Cooks wasn't the X-factor.

EPIC. Classic. An all-time great. Call it what you will, the Sydney-Adelaide NBL championship today needed overtime before the Kings claimed their sixth crown, beating the 36ers 113-101 after the decisive Game 5 of the Grand Finals still was locked 95-95 at the end of regulation. Enter Kendric Davis.
Jewel of a season? Best is yet to come

WITH all the drama, theatre and tensions of the NBL Championship Series, it would be easy to overlook the fact the WNBL has been notoriously active in these early throes of its off-season, CEO Jennie Sager the first to bite the dust, Tasmania Jewels signing their inaugural player Nikki Parker, and two more coaching appointments.
'Great escape' takes 36ers to Game 5 decider

A MISSED free throw or a missed opportunity? It doesn't really matter as Zylan Cheatham tickled a triple-double en route to Adelaide tying the NBL's best-of-five Grand Finals 2-2 with a 92-91 Game 4 great escape that swings the pressure of expectation onto the Kings in Sunday's series decider in Sydney.

Time out-NO FLOP ZONE: NBL Final Going to the Wire

WHAT surprised my Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast colleague Joey Wright the most about the first three matches of the NBL Championship between Sydney and Adelaide? His answer is unlikely to surprise you but there is plenty in store in this week's episode that will.
UFC? Give us a break. It's adjust or bust

THE decision by Adelaide 36ers coach Mike Wells to try and influence the narrative of the NBL Championship by aiming a blowtorch on an alleged officiating discrepancy favouring Sydney - and a feckless media using emotive terms such as "UFC" to describe the Kings defence - is bordering on the pathetic.
Master coach masterminds his Grand Master

MULTIPLE NBL Championship winning coach Brian Goorjian today again showed his mastery of the big occasion by drawing a record-setting performance from his occasionally wayward superstar Kendric Davis, as their Sydney Kings seized a 2-1 Grand Final lead over a desperate Adelaide.
Living rent free in Davis' mind, aftermath shifts dynamic

TO borrow a line from today's contemporary world, Bryce Cotton is living rent-free in Kendric Davis' head and unless Sydney coach Brian Goojian can exorcise KD's Cotton-demon, there's every chance Adelaide can continue to grow deeper into this NBL Championship, now locked at 1-1.
