Basketball NSW released framework on the pathway to community basketball returning last week and it has been reported an update on the modified Waratah League structure could be made early next week.
A report in the Illawarra Mercury stated the competition, which was originally meant to start in March, would begin at the back-end of the year.

Basketball NSW chief executive officer Maria Nordstrom said BNSW would continue to undertake internal assessments and get feedback from their associations about when play should resume.
"Basketball NSW are in talks with the various associations in both country and metropolitan NSW as to what a format of the league and BNSW programs would look like for the back end of the year, government permitting for that to occur," she said.
"The government has not provided us with any guidance or framework in NSW. A lot of other states have received theirs but we haven't. That's been a challenge because we don't have a road map for planning.
"It's been an interesting time ... the biggest challenge is for us is there's no real timeline.
"You're in that critical phase on locking down, making sure everyone knows what's going on so communication is very clear.... we are really focusing on what we need to do next."
A youthful Rams men's side was originally scheduled to start its 2020 season on March 14 at Queanbeyan.
