NBL Champion and Tall Blacks Power Forward Tom Vodanovich is returning to the Sky Sport Breakers after playing for the Sydney Kings the last two years.
 
The 27-year-old is the fifth kiwi to be confirmed in Mody Maor’s roster alongside Tom Abercrombie, Rob Loe, Sam Timmins, and Dan Fotu.
 
Vodanovich’s signature caps off a big week for the new coach after convincing Will McDowell-White to also return to the club.
 
Maor has now filled six of his 12 roster spots with a core of players who have significant experience playing alongside each other.
 
“I expect Tommy to be a tremendous force as we re-establish our culture and identity,” said Maor.
 
“Whether it’s on the floor with his physical presence and established three-point shooting or in the locker room, Tom has grown significantly over the past couple of years both as a person and as a basketball player.
 
“I am delighted we can bring him back home on a two-year deal.”
 
Vodanovich’s link to the Breakers stretches back to 2018, when he first played as a development player for the club.
 
He was rewarded with a full roster spot in 2019 and played 23 games before spending the last two seasons with the Kings, culminating with winning the championship earlier this month.
 
“I am a better player having played with the Kings.  From when I left two years ago to winning a championship, I think my game’s got a lot better,” said Vodanovich.
 
“The Breakers have had a tough couple of years with COVID, but they’re putting together a kiwi core under a new coach.
 
“It’s a great opportunity and a no-brainer to come back to the club I love.”
