Melbourne United pre-season games at Bendigo and SBC

On August 30 2018, Bendigo Stadium will play host to the two NBL powerhouses and later that week on Saturday 1st September, the teams will make their way to the State Basketball Centre for their second match-up.

With Melbourne United being the reigning NBL Champions and the addition of Aussie grown NBA superstar Andrew Bogut to the Sydney roster, these matches are sure to be a great preview of what is to come in NBL19.

It will be the first opportunity for Melbourne fans to see Andrew Bogut strut his stuff in his home state.
