NBL Boss Applauds Breakers on Eve of 29th and Final Game in Australia

After 153 days on the road, the Sky Sport New Zealand Breakers tonight will play their last game in Australia this season before they return home tomorrow.

NBL Owner and Executive Chairman Larry Kestelman said: “All of our clubs and players have made enormous sacrifices during this COVID affected season and none more so than the New Zealand Breakers.

“They left New Zealand back in December and have played 29 games across Australia since then. It’s a very long time to be away from family and friends but they have dealt with their challenging circumstances like absolute professionals.
 
“On behalf of the NBL, I want to thank each and every one of them for the sacrifice they have made so we could stage this season. We wish them a safe journey home and they go with our gratitude and best wishes for the rest of the season.”

The Breakers will be acknowledged at tonight’s game against the Illawarra Hawks at the WIN Entertainment Centre. The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sport 2 at 10pm.
