PJC sizes up best PG title - NBL Wrap
THE excitement generated by Cole Anthony's NBL arrival, the potential renewal of hostilities between Kendric Davis and Bryce Cotton, plus the impact of assists king Arnas Velicka may have cast a vast shadow. But Parker Jackson-Cartwright stepped out from under it and into the spotlight this round.
Phoenix, Breakers in comfortable NBL wins

IT'S way too easy to write off new players - particularly imports - too soon, as Cairns' struggling US point guard Jaylon Brown proved last night in Melbourne, scoring 14 of his 20 points in the final quarter of a whopping 35-14 turnaround that saw the Taipans squeeze the life from United.

BG sets new mark for excellence - NBL R2
BRIAN Goorjian's 600th win as the GOAT of NBL coaching likely was one of his least challenging, Illawarra yesterday providing token opposition and hardly anything resembling the champion of 2025 or even a worthy derby rival for its loathed Sydney Kings "big brother".
Hawks' NBL season already on the brink
AN import cut, a treasure trove of injuries, role confusion, no defensive fortitude and shambolick offence - welcome to Week 2 of the NBL season for the Illawarra Hawks, crushed today by historic arch rival Sydney as its championship MVP Kendric Davis ran riot for 31 points and six assists.
