While the NBL1 competition is set to recommence this weekend with no crowds following the end of Victoria's lockdown, it's still a nerve-racking time for the only team with half it's players in NSW.

"Our concern is if a hard border closure comes in and Albury players can't get across to play," Bandits' president Luke Smith said.

"That would probably end the season for us.

"That's part of the advantages and disadvantages of living on the Murray."

The Bandits have a bye this weekend before meeting Knox at the Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre on August 7.

The Allen McCowan memorial game will be celebrated during that clash, however there won't be a crowd.

The club has postponed its heritage game until 2022, which will mark 21 years since the club's first men's championship.
