Off the back of the biggest and best Blitz in history, the NBL is proud to announce its pre-season tournament will return to the Gold Coast in September. Fans from all 10 teams will get their first look at the revamped rosters, while coaches and players will fine-tune their gameplans for the campaign. The basketball world came to the Gold Coast last year with more than 40 NBA scouts from 27 teams getting their first glimpse at the four NBL Next Stars selected in last week’s draft, including number two pick Alex Sarr. The Gold Coast will again host the interest of the international basketball industry, as the Blitz remains a crucial scouting trip to assess the new crop of NBL teams and Next Stars talent. The NBL has partnered with Experience Gold Coastand the Queensland Goverment to bring the NBL Blitz to the Gold Coast.
