Melbourne United is reportedly leading the race to sign former Tasmania JackJumpers guard Sean Macdonald, according to CODE Sports.

Matt Logue reports Macdonald recently toured United’s facilities, with Melbourne one of four clubs showing interest alongside Illawarra, Perth and South East Melbourne.

The 26-year-old was named the NBL’s Most Improved Player during Tasmania’s championship-winning NBL24 campaign, before his progress was interrupted by two serious ACL injuries in recent years.

Macdonald was mutually released by the JackJumpers in May after playing 86 games for the club. He was at Tasmania when new United coach Jacob Chance was an assistant.

The guard averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game in NBL25, but did not play last season as he continued his recovery from injury.
