    The Breakers will be without guard Scotty Hopson for tonight's Australian basketball league game away against the Cairns Taipans

    The Breakers will be without guard Scotty Hopson for tonight's Australian basketball league game away against the Cairns Taipans


    Hopson was left behind when the side travelled yesterday, having yet to recover from a knee injury suffered last month.

    Shamir says Hopson made the call.



    Corey Webster is also out with an ankle injury, but centre Rob Loe will return from a fractured skull.
