Blaze future yet to be decided

Updated July 16, 2012 14:32:31

Basketball Australia is still assessing the financial viability of National Basketball League (NBL) club the Gold Coast Blaze.

The Blaze has no players and no staff but remains on the NBL competition schedule that is due to start in October.

The Gold Coast club has emerged from the voluntary administration it entered in May but is still seeking a major investor.

The Gold Coast Basketball Association (GCBA) is willing to share resources and staff.

GCBA chief executive Allan Hilzinger was on a telephone hook-up with the Blaze owners and Basketball Australia representatives this morning.

"They need to provide the evidence that the cash is available and then they do also have to provide a budget - a detailed budget - showing that is available as well," he said.

Basketball Australia says it expects the Blaze to provide more details about its plans today.
