Melbourne United superstar Chris Goulding is set to make his NBL26 debut on Sunday against Cairns.

Melbourne United has announced that superstar Chris Goulding is set to make his long-awaited season debut on Sunday, when his side hosts the Cairns Taipans at John Cain Arena.

Three-time NBL champion Goulding, who won a bronze medal with the Australian Boomers at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, has missed United’s opening four matches due to a quad injury.
