About south east Melbourne phoenix

South East Melbourne Phoenix entered the National Basketball League in the 2019-20 season as part of the NBL expansion, and by their second season had secured a spot in the semi-finals.

Their debut match, the first-ever ‘Throwdown’ clash, set the scene for a healthy cross-town rivalry with Melbourne United that continues into the 2021-22 season.

Australian Boomer Kyle Adnam will captain the team for the 2021-22 season, with marquee signing Zhou Qi from China completing the team’s impressive new roster.
