"Its out of our control but its something that has just left us itching," Allen said.
"Weve trained for however long now so its nice to finally get on the court and go against something that is not our teammates.
"We had a really good warm-up, everyone was feeling really good, there was a lot of talk out there. The crowd was awesome so were hoping everyone can get back this week plus a few more and support us again.
"I think it happened with two minutes to go in the warm-up so we were ready and raring to go, just unfortunately things like that happen."
The Capitals Academy did manage to open their season with a win in Melbourne and WNBL star Kate Gaze is looking to repeat the dose with a firing Keely Froling leading the way.
"Its so great playing with Keely, shes such a great player, shes so competitive which I love," Gaze said.
"She chases all the rebounds on all the shots that I miss so loving playing with Keely, shes a great player and a great leader for the young girls.
"Its a new, young group and I think we have some really promising players coming through the ranks here at Basketball ACT so [I'm] just so excited and hopefully we can just keep getting better each week."
