    Another blow for the New Zealand Breakers, following last night's heartbreaking two-point overtime home loss to the Adelaide 36ers

    Another blow for the New Zealand Breakers, following last night's heartbreaking two-point overtime home loss to the Adelaide 36ers


    Tall Blacks forward Sam Mennenga broke his left wrist at Spark Arena, even though he played the last 10 minutes.

    Losing Mennenga is likely to hit the Breakers' NBL playoff hopes hard ... they're sitting two wins outside the top-six playoffs places.
