NBL EXPERIENCE
Jamaal Brantley made his NBL debut with the New Zealand Breakers at 29 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
With Dan Shamir’s departure, assistant Mody Maor was promoted to head coach, ushering in a new era for the New Zealand Breakers. The 2022/23 season marked the Breakers’ return to playing regular home games after two years spent based in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, the team underwent a significant rebuild, losing six of their top eight players, including Yanni Wetzell, Hugo Besson, Peyton Siva, Finn Delany, Ousmane Dieng, and Chasson Randle. Returning from the previous season were Thomas Abercrombie, Robert Loe, and William McDowell-White.
To compensate for the departures, the Breakers added Tom Vodanovich (via Sydney), Izayah Mauriohooho-Le’Afa, Cameron Gliddon (both via South East Melbourne), and rookie Jayden Bezzant to bolster their perimeter defense and shooting. The team also made significant import signings with Dererk Pardon, Jarrell Brantley, and Barry Brown Jr., while adding French NBA prospect Rayan Rupert through the NBL Next Star Program.
Jamaal Brantley, the older brother of Jarrell Brantley, was signed as an injury replacement for Thomas Abercrombie, who was sidelined at the start of the season with a torn retina. Jamaal joined the Breakers in Round 3, appearing in two games during his brief tenure with the team. Although his on-court contributions were limited, Jamaal and Jarrell made history as the first pair of import brothers to ever play together in an NBL game, creating a unique moment in league history.

While Jamaal Brantley’s time with the Breakers was short-lived, his presence alongside his brother Jarrell added a unique chapter to the Breakers’ historic 2022/23 campaign. His contributions off the bench helped provide depth during a season where the Breakers would finish second in the regular season and advance to the Grand Final series, marking their first finals appearance since 2016.
Jamaal Brantley played one season in the NBL. He averaged 1 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0 assists in 2 NBL games.
