Preseason[]

The Hawks started their preseason later than most teams, with their first game on 7 September. They played three regular preseason games (two of which were against other NBL teams) before playing in the NBL Blitz against Melbourne United and the Perth Wildcats.[1][2] The Hawks then continued their preseason with a final regular game against the Sydney Kings, however opted against playing more games in the NBLxNBA series.[3]
