The clock has struck Parker Time!

The BNZ Breakers are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of dynamic point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright for the next two seasons. Jackson-Cartwright, who quickly became a fan favourite and pivotal player during his previous tenure with the club, has signed a deal bringing his electrifying playmaking and leadership back to Auckland for NBL26 and 27.

"We are absolutely delighted to welcome Parker back to the BNZ Breakers family," says Marc Mitchell, Chair of the BNZ Breakers.

“Signing Parker was my top priority this off-season, and we know our fans will be just as excited as we are to see him in the black singlet."

President of Basketball Operations Dillon Boucher said “PJC’s first two seasons with the Breakers saw him consistently light up the League with his incredible speed and elite scoring ability.

“His infectious energy and competitive spirit were instrumental in many memorable performances, and his return is expected to provide a significant boost to the team's offensive firepower and on-court direction.

"Parker is not only an exceptionally talented basketball player, he is a fantastic person, who embodies the values of our club. His impact on the court is undeniable, and his ability to elevate those around him will be crucial as we aim for success this season.”

Jackson-Cartwright also expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the BNZ Breakers.

He said, "I'm incredibly excited to be coming back to Auckland and rejoining the Breakers. I loved my time there previously – the club, the city, and especially the fans made it a special experience.

“I'm ready to get back to work with the team and contribute to a successful season. There's unfinished business, and I'm eager to help bring a championship to New Zealand."

The BNZ Breakers are confident that Jackson-Cartwright's return will be a cornerstone of their ambitions for the NBL26 season and are aiming for a dominant campaign.
