    The Breakers are trying to stay chipper as they negotiate another Australian NBL basketball season defensive screen

    The Breakers are trying to stay chipper as they negotiate another Australian NBL basketball season defensive screen


    Injuries had already struck the team via captain Tom Abercrombie, not long before four members of camp tested postive for Covid.

    A home-away-from-home scenario has dominated the Breakers' last two campaigns.

    Abercrombie says when they left for Australia earlier this year, they were aware of the risk.



    Further test results are due back today.
