Magnay returns for JackJumpers

The Tasmania JackJumpers have been bolstered for Saturday night’s clash with the Adelaide 36ers, with Will Magnay returning to the lineup.

It will be Magnay’s first game this season, after dealing with a foot injury he suffered while playing in Spain during the off-season.

“It’s been a bit of a frustrating time, but I’m now feeling really confident in my body and I’m excited to get back out there,” Magnay said.

“Will has worked really hard throughout the last few months to put himself in a position where he can now get out onto the floor and contribute to the team’s performance,” JackJumpers’ Head of High Performance, Ryan Carroll said.

Magnay has had an injury riddled career and has played just 29 of a possible 66 games for Tasmania over the past two seasons.

He and the club will both be hoping a good run of health begins with Saturday night’s game.

The JackJumpers and 36ers meet at 8pm AEDT on Saturday night, live on ESPN via Kayo Sports.
