NBL SCHEDULE CHANGES

The Adelaide 36ers have been forced to postpone tonight’s game against the Perth Wildcats as a precautionary measure due to COVID-19 protocols and close contact requirements in South Australia.

The decision comes after a team member tested positive to Covid, resulting in all game-day players and staff being deemed close contacts.

Due to current South Australian State Government Covid Directions, the subsequent Adelaide 36ers home game on 2^nd January against South-East Melbourne Phoenix will also be postponed.

"The NBL will continue to follow the advice of governments and health authorities and further testing will be carried out on any individuals impacted or those deemed close contacts," an NBL spokesperson said.

"The health and safety of the players, coaches, clubs, staff and fans is the league’s number one priority when considering these matters.”

All 36ers players and staff have been double vaccinated. 

"It's extremely disappointing to have the games postponed, but we must follow the advice and guidelines of the state government meaning those deemed close-contacts will have to isolate,” Adelaide 36ers CEO Nic Barbato said.

"The health of our players, coaches, staff, corporate partners, members and fans, is our number one priority.  The focus now is to support our players and coaches during the isolation period and ensure their wellbeing.”

“We sincerely thank our fans and supporters for their understanding and loyalty and look forward to seeing them at our next home game.”

Our members and those who purchased tickets to the games via Ticketek will be contacted directly regarding the events.
