The Coles Express NBL1 and Basketball Victoria have announced the 2021 NBL1 South season has been cancelled.
Coles Express NBL1 General Manager Dean Anglin said: “We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of the 2021 NBL1 South season.
“Despite working tirelessly with our clubs to try and find a way to complete the season in a safe manner, the extension of restrictions in Victoria and travel restrictions imposed on our Tasmanian clubs, the Mount Gambier Pioneers and Albury-Wodonga Bandits has forced us to make the difficult decision to cancel the season.
“With a combined 154 men’s and women’s games still to be played, there will be no champion and no individual awards for the 2021 NBL1 South season.
“We thank all of the NBL1 South clubs, Basketball Victoria and our partners for their cooperation and patience during the decision-making process.
“Planning for the 2022 NBL1 South season is already underway, and we can’t wait for the conference to return bigger and better next year.”
