The NBL's title contenders are making bold moves to strengthen their rosters. Adelaide 36ers have signed former NBA first-round pick John Jenkins, a 34-year-old guard with over 170 NBA games under his belt. Jenkins, a 6'4 sharpshooter, joins the team after a successful stint in Romania, where he averaged 23.8 points per game. His experience and scoring prowess will be a significant boost to the 36ers' chances. Meanwhile, Melbourne United's coach, Dean Vickerman, provided an update on the health of Tyson Walker, who has been playing through injury. The team is also dealing with the departure of Troy Brown Jr, who mutually parted ways with the club for personal reasons. The Kings, on the other hand, faced a challenging game against an undermanned United side, with star guard Matthew Dellavedova exiting early due to a suspected concussion. Despite the setbacks, the Kings' coach, Brian Goorjian, praised his team's resilience and belief, even with key players out. The NBL's title race is heating up, and these strategic moves and player updates will shape the season's outcome.
