NBL

DJ Vasiljevic spectacularly broke out of his shooting slump, Rayan Rupert made a dazzling return to show his NBA credentials, and that's just a taste of ...

Clark scored Adelaide’s last seven points of the game, was a cool head in a panicked situation and it was only his second game. It might have been easy for his management to put him on ice for the rest of the NBL season and just prepare for his NBA future. “I’m very happy to get back to the court and just play basketball. We have a lot more games coming soon and I’m looking forward to those.” He ended the night with 14 points, three rebounds, two steals and a block on 5/7 shooting in 18 minutes. Showing no signs of his two-month absence, Rupert came out and gave the Breakers a quick spark with eight points in the second quarter including another trademark steal with his fast hands. “I’m very happy to be playing for the Breakers. Clark scored again with five minutes to play and Adelaide were leading 80-64. A couple of weeks ago Vasiljevic came out and talked about the shooting struggles he had so far had this season. But for him it’s about more than just the numbers he puts up to do more than playing ‘pretty well’. But at the same time I’ve been through a lot as a basketball player so from that perspective I feel like I could have been better during this stretch.” They are proving the perfect destination for Rupert ahead of the 2023 NBA Draft.
