This really was a great week of driving + paint touches from Luke Travers. He has a physical and athletic point of difference in the NBL, and he consistently used it this round; was notably more assertive, getting down hill in trans, in the PnR, and general one-on-one situations.
Hell of a minute from Jason Spurgin to end the first half vs Illawarra. Elite one-on-one D against Makur Maker, into a Gortat screen… then the great help D for the block on K. Martin. Big swing for Sydney.

There are 10 Australians - and 1 Kiwi - on NBA rosters going into the opening day of the 2026-27 regular season.
From Giddey, to Daniels, to Landale, Proctor, Thybulle, Zikarsky, and more; for @ESPNAusNZ, here’s a look at what to expect from each of them.

Illawarra Hawks with back-to-back back picks leading to alley-oop dunks for Makur Maker to end the 3rd Q.
Makuach Maluach vs Brisbane: 19 points (8/12 FG, 3/5 3PT).
Through 3 games, Maluach is averaging 16.0 ppg, on 17/23 FG (79.3%) and 8/11 3PT (72.7%). Fully acknowledging the incredibly small sample size + iffy competition, that’s an insane 93.6% TS. Impressive start to #NBL27.
It’s fun watching the new imports of #NBL27 learn on the fly what Will Magnay is.

Brandon Knight will not be available for the Perth Wildcats’ game vs the Adelaide 36ers on Thursday, sources told ESPN. He’s not in the country yet. As it stands, it’s unlikely he’ll be available for either of the Wildcats’ Round 2 games.
Every game, there’ll be multiple examples of the little things Hunter Goodrick does to impact winning. SEM broke this 1-2-2 press with relative ease, getting a wide open look at a three for an elite shooter.
Jason Spurgin with the wall up, then the block. Very solid defensive possession from the big-man. He’s looked in much better shape going into this season; played 15 MIN in the Kings’ opener vs Cairns.
Thought this was awesome from Zylan Cheatham. To get that kickout to Bryce Cotton so quickly is an example of elite athleticism + awareness. Just a really high-level heads-up play.
I asked Bryce about it in the presser.
Credit to @derekrucker5 for recognizing it on the fly.
This is an incredible pass from Joe Ingles to Goulding vs the top-locking D.
