What happened: Chinese star Han Xu plays her first game for the Geelong Venom on Saturday at 3pm AEDT. Geelong hosts the Southside Melbourne Flyers in Round 2, live on 9Now and ESPN via Disney+.

Why it matters: Geelong signed Han Xu for its frontcourt, and Chambers has backed her to lead the club's WNBL27 title push. Her debut also comes in a milestone game for Southside, as Carley Ernst plays her 300th WNBL game.

What to watch: Her minutes and production against Southside will show how Geelong plans to use her up front this WNBL27 season.
