The NBL1 today announced the cancellation of the South season, following the extension of Victoria's lockdown.
NBL1 general manager Dean Anglin cited lockdowns and travel restrictions as ultimately defining the season.
"Despite working tirelessly with our clubs to try and find a way to complete the season in a safe manner, the extension of restrictions in Victoria and travel restrictions imposed on our Tasmanian clubs, the Mount Gambier Pioneers and Albury-Wodonga Bandits has forced us to make the difficult decision to cancel the season," Anglin said in a statement.
ALSO IN SPORT:
"With a combined 148 men's and women's games still to be played, there will be no champion and no individual awards for the 2021 NBL1 season.
"Planning for the 2022 NBL1 South season is already underway and we can't wait for the conference to return bigger and better next year."
Both the Bandits' men's and women's team were sitting in 14th spot after 15 games.
