“We’re excited to kick off our pre-season in Perth in front of the WA basketball community and members of the Red Army,” Wildcats General Manager of Basketball Operations Danny Mills said.

“It’s a great opportunity to build for NBL25 on home soil and take our roster to a couple of strong WA basketball areas in East Perth and Lakeside and play against the best of the NBL1 West.

“We had some excellent attendances last year when we played in Warwick and Rockingham and we’re looking forward to getting some great support once again.

“The events will also feature our Rio Tinto Wildcats Academy players, who will take part in a couple of intra-squad curtain-raisers.”
