    The New Zealand Breakers can't wait to have their Tall Blacks centre back in the line-up after conceding more than 100 points in each of their opening NBL basketball matches

    The New Zealand Breakers can't wait to have their Tall Blacks centre back in the line-up after conceding more than 100 points in each of their opening NBL basketball matches


    The Breakers were cleaned up by 32 points in Melbourne without the aggressive Sam Mennenga.

    Coach Petteri Koponen admits they struggled without their big man, who was out with concussion.



    Koponen hopes they'll have Mennenga back for Saturday's contest at home against the Perth Wildcats.
