Sad News: JackJumper Top Player Injured Ahead of NBL Finals……..

The race to the NBL championship is nearly complete, with just two contenders left vying for the title.

In one corner is Melbourne United, the team that has been the league’s high-water mark for the entire season, finishing in top spot with 20 wins and not losing two in a row the entire season.

Up against them is the Tasmania JackJumpers, a team who started the season on shaky footing, but came home strong in a massive way, including knocking out second-ranked team Perth and MVP Bryce Cotton en route to the finals.

Can the NBL’s newest franchise break through and claim their first championship, or will Melbourne add another jewel to their crown?
