The NBL pre-season is heating up with the West Sydney Razorbacks and Sydney Kings game next week already sold out.

The Razorbacks and Kings battle it out on Tuesday night at 7.30pm at Hornsby Basketball Stadium.

The Razorbacks have received an early blow with news that James Harvey will miss the clash after he was told to rest for two more weeks to give his Achilles tendonitis time to fully mend.

On the up side for the Razorbacks, skipper Scott McGregor is back after a calf muscle tear. Sidelined for nearly three weeks, McGregor got through a full training session on Friday without any qualms.

Newcomer, Liam Rush missed Friday’s session with ankle soreness but coach Mark Watkins expects him to be back next week for Tuesday's match.
