Breakers guard Mitch McCarron is calling for continued aggression from his teammates in this afternoon's NBL clash against the Perth Wildcats in Auckland

5 January 2025

It comes amid a five-game ban for leading scorer Parker Jackson-Cartwright for pushing an official during his side's Christmas Day game against Tasmania.

The Breakers are coming off a 24-point win over Cairns, with guard Matt Mooney and centre Tacko Fall combining for 44 points to snap an eight-game losing skid.

McCarron is urging more players to step up with Jackson-Cartwright out.

Tip off is at 4.30.
