The Sutherland Sharks have the honour of hosting an NBL pre-season match on Wednesday night.
The Sydney Kings will face the Illawarra Hawks as part of their preparations for the new season, which starts on October 6.
The match starts at 7.30pm at the Sutherland Basketball Stadium. The Kings will also host a coaching clinic at St Aloysius Primary School, Cronulla on Thursday.
Kings guard Kevin Lisch is especially looking forward to the games.
“The pre-season games against Illawara are always exciting because of the Kings-Hawks rivalry,” he said.
“Obviously for me personally there will be a few more interesting dynamics added because I played there last year and played for Bevo for five years. But, at the end of the day it is pre-season, with the main goal being progressing as a team going into the regular season.”
Tickets are $15 for adults and $7.50 for children. They are available through admin@sutherlandbasketball.net.au.
