Tuesday, May 31, 2022

With NBL1 conferences across the country, NBL players will be front and centre suiting up for various teams with all the action live and free to watch on the NBL1 App and NBL1.com.au.

A host of players came agonisingly close to recording triple-doubles this weekend, headlined by Shea Ili, who almost did it twice.

Playing for Sandringham, the Melbourne United guard had 27 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals vs Dandenong, and 11 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists vs Knox.

Adelaide 36ers star Mitch McCarron did it all for Northside with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists vs Southern Districts.

Championship winning Sydney King Dejan Vasiljevic had a big weekend for Diamond Valley with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists vs Eltham, and 31 points, 8 rebounds vs Ringwood.

His Kings teammate, Jaylin Galloway, made the highlight reel with this monster dunk in NBL1 North action.
