New fixtures for Taipans
CAIRNS Taipans will begin preparations for a rivalry clash and short two-game series with Melbourne United in the space of three days after the NBL was forced to make changes to its schedule due to Western Australia’s border controls.
The Snakes will now prepare to write another chapter in the history of the Sunshine Stoush against Brisbane Bullets at Nissan Arena on Saturday, February 5, before a home-and-away series with Melbourne Utd the following week.
They will face United at John Cain Arena on Saturday, February 12, before hosting the defending NBL champions at Cairns Convention Centre on Monday, February 14.
Perth Wildcats will remain on the road for the foreseeable future, with their planned home games at RAC Arena in early February postponed.
