For the first time, a team was established from outside the Australasian area, with the Singapore Slingers taking over the licence of the Hunter Pirates. A new franchise, the South Dragons, was established in Melbourne, taking the number of teams to twelve. The Brisbane Bullets established a new NBL record of 21 straight wins, including 18 in the regular season.
