Background
Basketball Victoria introduced a new senior elite league in 2019 called NBL1 after partnering with the National Basketball League (NBL).[2][3][4]
The former teams from the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) were part of the inaugural NBL1 season, while Eltham Wildcats, Knox Raiders, Ringwood Hawks and Waverley Falcons joined from the Big V.[2]
