WNBL1: Classy start as new faces and kids all shine

NEW competitor Tasmania has started its WNBL life with a fine home win and an opening score of 103 points, Perth stunned defending champion Townsville behind Georgia Amoore's leadership, Sydney went 2-0 courtesy of Lauren Nicholson's brilliance and Canberra stunned Bendigo.
Torrid Craig with a treat for all seasons

SYDNEY's NBA star Torrey Craig pulled off an absolute rarity to close the Kings rout of Perth yesterday, firing up a halfcourt shot which not only went through but bounced back around inside the net to go through the ring for a second time. Finally we have the equivalent of a footy six-pointer!
Best Closer? Bryce Cotton, as 36ers win away again

FOR many, the letters "BC" conjure a religious connotation. For those of us who embrace basketball as our religion, BC means only one of two things, and they are intertwined - Bryce Cotton and Best Closer. The little master did it again last night to end Tasmania's unbeaten home run.
Premium Norton Protection guides Bullets win
STARTING in his milestone 400th NBL game, Mitch Norton delivered an 11-point, 9-assist extravaganza which not only halted Brisbane's recent slide but sent South East Melbourne back to the drawing board, two of its imports continuing to underperform and coach Josh King with plenty on his mind.
WNBL 2026-27 opens tonight with some Venom

YES at last, the WNBL tips off tonight in Hobart with the league's freshest face Tasmania Jewels hosting its second newest club Geelong Venom amid the rebirth of basketball for women in the island state. The JackJumpers have been great for the game. The Jewels will be the same.
Kings snarlin' as Carlin lays waste to Cup hope
NEW Zealand's Carlin Davison has always been a super athlete. Last night in Canberra, he went further and became Superman for the Breakers, in the injury-forced absence of Parker Jackson-Cartwright, taking on the role of point guard and driving the Ignite Cup experts to a sizzling NBL road win over Sydney.

Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Dr Mic is out, Kendric just lost

ANTHONY Drmic has hung up his boots and as his first NBL coach, Joey Wright recalls him fondly at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast this week, the Tasmania JackJumpers' championship winner claiming Rookie of the Year honours way back when at Adelaide 36ers.
Wow. Now we glorify sore losing? NBL Wrap
KENDRIC Davis' return to his most pathetic and immature behaviour that saw out Adelaide's well planned and executed win over somebody's "benchmark" team yesterday, needs to be looked at deeper than "it's good for the game" because pedestalling a sore loser is not what Aussie sports is about, or ever has been.
Kenyon D leads to another Davis outburst
IF you're not a dyed-in-the-wool Sydney Kings fan or apologist, it becomes increasingly difficult to like Kendric Davis, a petulant flopping sook who likes to play the victim, even after Adelaide has strategically used Matt Kenyon to curtail his influence and underpin a 36ers road upset.
