Are the Breakers cooked with Zylan zapped?
TweetTHE fractured foot suffered yesterday by Zylan Cheatham as New Zealand succumbed to Adelaide 85-97 at Spark Arena will see him sidelined for 6-8 weeks and the Breakers in desperate need of immediate replacement help.
Anthony Lamb has proven a very fine replacement for Justinian Jessup but how ironic would it now be if the Breakers collared Tyler Cook, then suited him tomorrow against South East Melbourne?
Or Xavier Cooks?
They’re going to need a player of that calibre or Alan Williams, sauces suggest, will own the keyways.
The good news is Cheatham’s injury is not season-ending but it easily could prove season-derailing.
NZ pulling off any sort of replacement before the Phoenix fixture is unlikely, making South East the favourite to claim that game.
