September 14, 2023

The longstanding partnerships between the National Basketball League (NBL) and La Trobe Financial has been extended, with the asset managers recommitting to the competition for another year.

Describing the link with La Trobe Financial as having been key to the competition’s resurgence on the Australian, New Zealand and global sporting landscape, NBL Chief Executive, David Stevenson explained "this is a truly significant and valued relationship that dates back to 2006, and we are proud to continue with La Trobe Financial.

“Staying by the NBL’s side highlights the unwavering support, commitment and trust La Trobe Financial has in the League; these are all traits of La Trobe Financial and why it has stood the test of time for more than 70-years.

“The NBL’s growth has been well publicised, and La Trobe Financial has been there every step of the way."

NBL Executive Chairman and Owner, Larry Kestelman added “La Trobe Financial has been with us through each stage of our growth over the years. To have them beside us for another season will provide significant benefits for both organisations.

“We look forward to what promises to be a successful season together.”

Expressing his excitement about the extended partnership, La Trobe Financial Chief Executive, Chris Andrews commented "we are delighted to continue our association with the NBL, a league that shares our passion for bringing people together and it is this shared value that has been the foundation of our successful partnership,” Andrews said.

“As a company that has thrived for more than seven decades, La Trobe Financial is proud to support the NBL's growth and contribute to the success of basketball in Australia, New Zealand and globally. We express our gratitude to Larry Kestelman, David Stevenson, and the wider NBL team for their great achievement in growing the League to date and look forward to continuing this journey together."

The 2023/24 Hungry Jack’s NBL Season tips off on Thursday 28th September with Melbourne United hosting the South East Melbourne Phoenix at John Cain Arena.
