It will be a surreal setting for the Singapore Slingers when they face home team Hong Kong Eastern at the Southorn Stadium tomorrow in the Asean Basketball League (ABL).
In the light of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, the ABL has ordered that the game in Hong Kong, as well as tonight's clash between Kuala Lumpur Dragons and Macau Black Bears at the The Venetian Macao, be played behind closed doors.
