His best scoring game came against Cairns on December 21, where Awan (8 points in six minutes) made two three-pointers and completed a runaway dunk as Sydney won 119-77, with Davis (21 points and 9 assists) and Tyler Robertson (14 points) leading the Kings, while Andrew Andrews (14 points and 9 assists) was Cairns’ best.
Davis (25.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists), Xavier Cooks (13.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks) and Soares (11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds) led Sydney to first place with a 24-9 record, while Awan was elevated into Robertson’s roster spot after the guard suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Sydney opened the semifinals on March 11 with a 105-104 victory over Perth at Qudos Bank Arena.
In game two of the semifinals on March 14, Sydney defeated Perth 89-75 to complete a two-game sweep and advance to the Championship Series.
In game one against Adelaide on March 21, Sydney recorded a 112-68 victory at Qudos Bank Arena, with Awan (2 rebounds in 4:41) making his only postseason appearance.
Adelaide responded in game two on March 27 with a 91-89 win at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre to tie the series 1-1.
