Coronavirus forces NBL to cancel remainder of grand final series

The NBL has decided to cancel the remaining games of the grand final series between the Sydney Kings and Perth Wildcats because of concerns over coronavirus.

Game four was scheduled to be played in Perth on Friday night, but Kings management said they did not wish to proceed with the remainder of the series "given the global uncertainty and effects around COVID-19".

The Wildcats were leading the best-of-five game series 2-1, however the NBL will consider a decision on the outcome of the championship over the next 48 hours.

More to come.
