NBL EXPERIENCE

Marlon Redmond made his NBL debut with the Illawarra Hawks at 29 years of age. He scored 45 points in his first game.

After a one-season stint with the Sydney Supersonics, Gordie McLeod returned to Illawarra and reclaimed the captaincy under Charlie Ammit, the first Hawks coach to be retained for consecutive seasons.

With former MVP Michael Jones heading overseas and not returning for a third year, the club reshaped its frontline by bringing in American seven-footer David McGuire to join returning import Jerry Steurer, who came back for a second season. Wing and depth roles were also retooled, with Rick Fowle and Michael Roodenrys arriving to cover the departures of Simon Cottrell (to Hobart) and Brett Flanigan (to Sydney), while Illawarra leaned on a stronger local core heading into what would become a landmark season for the franchise.

Why Luke Paul Said No to a $3 Million College Bag to Get “Beaten Up” in the NBL

Most 16-year-olds would take the bag. Luke Paul wants to take a beating.

The 16-year-old Australian talent is a 6'6" point guard widely tipped as a future NBA lottery pick who reportedly turned down US college offers worth up to $3 million to stay home. He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…

The Phoenix overcame a career-high 36-point outing from Majok Deng, with Angus Glover leading the way with 21 points and seven three-pointers as the home side’s firepower proved too much. Despite the result, coach Josh King said his group still needs to produce a complete four-quarter performance, particularly…

This has been something I’ve been thinking about and discussing with people since Indigenous Round.I think we all need a little perspective sometimes. https://t.co/2D65bvtS5K — Michael Randall (@MickRandallHS) February 3, 2026 But the argument that any criticism of the National Basketball League’s social-issue…
