    NBL champion and Tall Blacks power forward Tom Vodanovich is returning to the Breakers after playing for the Sydney Kings the last two years

    NBL champion and Tall Blacks power forward Tom Vodanovich is returning to the 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 productive week for the new coach after convincing Australian guard 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.
