The Singapore Slingers are the first Asian-based club in the Australian National Basketball League and will commence playing in the 2006/07 season. Their head coach will be former West Sydney Razorbacks coach Gordie McLeod and they will play at the Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS).
The club was the brainchild of NBL stalwart Bob Turner, the Slingers' CEO. The NBL believes the club can open the league to wider audiences and greater revenue. However, the club has averaged crowds of only 1-2000 at its home games so far this season.
