What happened: A Kiwi guard has agreed to join an NBL club as an injury replacement, according to ESPN. The exact replacement designation has not yet been finalized.

Why it matters: The move follows Jordan James' torn left hamstring, which will keep him out at the start of NBL27. It gives the club immediate backcourt

By the numbers: Jordan James is set to be reassessed in four to six weeks after the hamstring injury.

What to watch: The next step is formal confirmation of the replacement mechanism and registration details. James' reassessment timeline will shape how long the arrangement is needed.
