“On behalf of Basketball NSW, we are incredibly excited to partner with News Corp to live stream select games from our Spalding Waratah Junior League Finals in 2022,” Basketball NSW chief executive officer Maria Nordstrom said.
“Having this opportunity to highlight our junior talent and our grassroots associations from across the state, is a perfect way to build upon showcasing what NSW has to offer on the court.
“Providing this accessibility through the implementation of having such games broadcasted live means that more and more spectators and lovers of basketball will be able to tune in and support their local teams and athletes from the comfort of their own home.”
News Sport Network managing director Michael Wilkins said the partnership was an opportunity to give basketball fans across the country a glimpse at the future make-up of the Boomers and Opals.
