London Lions v Leicester Riders is the pick of the first round ties in the BBL Trophy.
The opening round, to be played at a one-off tie in early February, has an all-NBL clash with last season’s runners-up, Solent Kestrels, visiting Derby Trailblazers.
The competition is now set in a bracket, meaning that Solent could still repeat the 2020 final with winners Newcastle after they were placed in opposite sides of the draw.
Full draw
London Lions v Leicester Riders
Bristol Flyers v Newcastle Eagles
Cheshire Phoenix v Hemel Storm
Glasgow Rocks v Reading Rockets
Worcester Wolves v Manchester Giants
Sheffield Sharks v Plymouth Raiders
Surrey Scorchers v Thames Valley Cavaliers
Derby Trailblazers v Solent Kestrels
The final is still scheduled for Glasgow’s Emirates Arena on March 21.
Elsewhere, Newcastle Eagles Ian Macleod and Cortez Edwards have been named BBL Coach and Player of the Month for December.
