Bad news for New Zealand Breakers basketball import Parker Jackson-Cartwright

Bad news for New Zealand Breakers basketball import Parker Jackson-Cartwright

26 December 2024

The point guard has been referred directly to the NBL's tribunal and charged with "grabbing, pushing or mishandling a game official" following a melee in the Christmas Day loss to the JackJumpers in Hobart.

Jackson-Cartwright will front the league's single-member tribunal tomorrow afternoon.

Any long-term ban could be the hammer blow to a season threatening to slip away from the ninth-placed Breakers, who are on an eight-game losing streak.
