Townsville Fire guard Shyla Heal was born in Kogarah, in Sydney’s south, but she will put aside her state allegiance in a bid to extinguish the Flames in Tuesday night’s WNBL clash.

Heal has been a standout for the Fire to start the WNBL season inside the North Queensland hub.

The Opals aspirant has dropped 15 and 18 points in games against Perth and Canberra heading into tonight’s Sydney Flames stoush.

Heal would love nothing more than to continue her form with a strong display against her home city, but it won’t be an easy task.

Sydney has surprised with commendable results to start the season.

The Flames only have one win over Bendigo but they competed hard in losses to competition heavyweights, the Melbourne Boomers, and the Southside Flyers.

Townsville and Sydney are also perfectly placed on the ladder at fifth and sixth respectively, which should make for a close and competitive match-up.

The star-studded Southside Flyers were due to take to the court against Adelaide Lightning tonight, but the game has been postponed due to South Australia’s worsening coronavirus outbreak.

Basketball Australia and the @WNBL have postponed today's Flyers-Lightning matchup, with Adelaide required to self-quarantine due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in South Australia.
