NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said the league will maintain a flexible approach with the season’s schedule.

“We will always prioritise having as many fans in home venues as possible as per our policies and processes,” he said.

“Like every sporting organisation around the country, we were acutely aware our schedule would likely change as Australia and New Zealand started to open up and consider vaccination rates and health advice.

“We have the ability to swap and change when necessary but will always maintain the integrity of the schedule and we will always put fans first.

“Getting teams into states and fans into venues safely remains are absolute priority. We will maintain a flexible approach to the schedule to ensure any potential further changes are made with these two objectives at the forefront.

“We will ensure each team still plays 14 home games and we will endeavour to give fans as much notice as possible when further changes are made after Round 6.”
