2013 New Zealand NBL season

The 2013 NBL season was the 32nd season of the National Basketball League. The 2013 season saw the withdrawal of the Auckland Pirates and Harbour Heat, but saw the return of the Waikato Pistons after a one-year hiatus as well as the Super City Rangers, who returned to the league for the first time since 1995.

The 2013 NBL Final Four saw the top four teams play off on Saturday 13 July in a semifinals round, with the winner of each game playing in the final on Sunday 14 July at Pettigrew Green Arena in Napier.

Team information
*Despite holding New Zealand citizenship, Jones had to play as an import due to a new league rule where each team could only field one naturalised New Zealand player (Manawatu already had Nick Horvath filling that spot).
