About this event

The Hawks are back at the WIN for NBL27, fresh off a championship and bolstered by three-time NBA champion JaVale McGee. Sixteen home matches lie ahead, including the season opener (flag unveiling), New Year's Eve, and clashes with Melbourne United and Sydney Kings. This is Hawks basketball — the atmosphere, the stakes, the lot.
