    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen is preaching patience after Tacko Fall's underwhelming debut in a blowout 109-71 A-NBL loss to the Hawks in Wollongong

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen is preaching patience after Tacko Fall's underwhelming debut in a blowout 109-71 A-NBL loss to the Hawks in Wollongong


    The ex-NBA centre chipped in with four points, four rebounds and five blocks in 14 minutes off the bench.

    Fall's been rehabbing a quad injury for the last month.

    Koponen says it's early days.



    The Breakers are third on the ladder and meet Perth away on Sunday.
