The second game of Sunday’s NBL double-header sees the Sydney Kings hosting the Perth Wildcats at Qudos Bank Arena.
The Kings are coming off a tough road loss to the Tasmania JackJumpers, failing to back up their massive win against the Adelaide 36ers last Saturday night.
The Perth Wildcats are reeling after a heavy 93–110 home defeat to the Brisbane Bullets on Wednesday night. That loss prompted an immediate decision to cut import Mason Jones, who struggled in his five games with the Wildcats. His short stint highlights just how irreplaceable a talent like Bryce Cotton can be. The Wildcats now face a tough challenge against a Sydney side eager to get back on track.
