    The Breakers will begin their 2021 Australian basketball league season against some familiar faces


    They'll face Melbourne United at a yet to be determined location, in their opening game on January 15th, who have signed Scotty Hopson.

    The swingman starred for the North Shore club last campaign, averaging 19.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists.

    Melbourne's also coached by former Breakers mentor Dean Vickerman.
