COVID KNOCKS FLYERS FOR SIX

By on October 30, 2020

The BBL season isn’t starting on Saturday as planned – after Bristol Flyers had four players test positive for Covid.

With a 14-day quarantine in place, it means the Flyers will forfeit their opening two games against Surrey Scorchers 20-0 under the BBL’s rules to deal with such situations.

“Whilst we’re disappointed to not fulfil our opening fixtures, the safety of players and staff from both sides remains paramount in these unprecedented times, and we are fully cooperating with the BBL and Basketball England on the matter,” the club said.

Elsewhere, Worcester Wolves re-signed British forward, Daniel Johnson-Thompson.

And Plymouth Raiders landed American wingman Chris Porter-Bunton from Romanian side CSM Galati,.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
