    The New Zealand Breakers are USA-bound again

    The New Zealand Breakers are USA-bound again


    They'll face NBA opposition in the early part of the new Australian basketball league season.

    Those games are likely to be between rounds two and five, when the Breakers are not scheduled for a game in the new season fixture list, released today.

    NZME understands they will play twice on their US trip, expected to be against teams from the NBA's Western Conference.

    The Breakers will also play on Christmas Day for the first time this year - away against the Tasmania JackJumpers.
