A proposed multipurpose stadium in Canberra aims to boost local basketball, with an NBL team potentially on the horizon.
An audacious proposal for a multipurpose stadium in the city has the capital talking, and as NBL action comes to Canberra this week the progress of the convention centre project also comes into focus, with an expansion men's basketball team on the horizon.
The lakeside stadium which has been suggested could be built as early as 2030 may even enhance Canberra's pitch for an NBL team.
On Wednesday night the Sydney Kings will play at the AIS Arena against the New Zealand Breakers as part of the Ignite Cup.
The in-season tournament fixture offers a lucrative $550,000 prize pool, making this more than just an exhibition road trip.
