After two season-like practice games against Brisbane Bullets and Melbourne United last week, the Phoenix are primed to go for the NBL Blitz in the Gold Coast starting this weekend.
The Phoenix will take on the Illawarra Hawks on Sunday, September 8, at 1 pm, the Sydney Kings on Wednesday, September 11, at 7:30 pm, and the Adelaide 36ers on Friday, September 13, at 5 pm.

Phoenix fans will get to see the full squad hit the court, including their first look at import Matthew Hurt, who was rested in the two pre-season games due to a dislocated finger.
With two games already under the belt and glimpses of Next Star Malique Lewis, clutch maker Angus Glover, and a surprise package from deep Tom Vodanovich, there will be plenty more highlights to get fans excited for the Phoenix's NBL25 campaign.
Power forward Vodanovich believes the squad is ready to bring some wins home before the Hungry Jack's NBl25 season begins in Perth for HoopsFest.
"I think we got the cobwebs out, but seeing new teams, getting the imports a taste of the league, and other people and taking them to the Gold Coast is a cool place to go," Vodanovich told Phoenix Media.
"It's going to be really good, but we're locked in and hopefully come away with some good wins."

All games will be streamed live and free via Kayo Freebies. You can also follow the action via the club's social channels.
Post-Blitz, the Phoenix will take on Perth Wildcats on Friday, September 20 at 8:30 pm AEST before their home opener on Thursday, September 26 at 7:30 pm for Throwdown XXV against crosstown rivals Melbourne United. CLICK HERE to secure your seats.
