Going Global: How the NBL is expanding its reach like never before

With a record number of Next Stars and Special Restricted Players contracted for the 2022 NBL season, the league is becoming more international than ever before.

The United States, Germany, France, the Philippines, China and Russia.

These are the home countries of the NBL’s 31 international players signed so far this season. Never before has Australia’s professional men’s basketball league exhibited more of an international flavour.
