Departing the league
Players who opted out
On 18 April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the NBL signed an agreement with the Australian Basketball Players' Association which implemented salary cuts designed to protect the league during the pandemic. In this agreement, players were allowed to opt out of their current contracts across a two week period following the agreement's implementation. However, players were able to opt back into their previous contracts or re-sign with their previous club but couldn't sign with a new NBL club until their contract expired.
