The Indian Panthers are taking shape ahead of their entry into the New Zealand men's basketball league

5 March 2025

Former Tall Black Miles Pearce will coach the South Auckland-based side.

They've only revealed the signing of two players, given their first regular season game is a week today against Hawke's Bay in Napier.

The Panthers were forced to miss a pre-season tournament in Westport this week due to visa issues.

The roster is set to predominantly feature Indian national players - along with New Zealanders and the three permitted overseas imports.
