RECENT FORM 

The injury crisis at the Tasmania JackJumpers has worsened, following the news Will Magnay is set for a stint on the sidelines.

The JackJumpers announced on Wednesday their captain, who is averaging 9.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game during the Hungry Jack's NBL26 season, is out and will be reassessed ahead of Round 10 due to a bruised right knee sustained at practice this week. It’s another tough blow for the NBL24 champions, who have four straight losses and currently sit in sixth with a 5-7 record. Archie Woodhill and Jacob Richards will replace Magnay and Drmic (who is out for another 3-4 weeks) in Tasmania's squad for their Round 9 clash with Adelaide at MyState Bank Arena.

The JackJumpers will need to dig deep and the strength of the bench will be tested as the homeside are forced to play small-ball without their main big man in Magnay.

Adelaide will also be keen to get back on the winners list after a loss to Perth. Zylan Cheatham was kept quiet last round, struggling to reach his usual offensive fire power. Former JackJumpers Isaac White and Matt Kenyon will be back at the nest with both making their mark in the city of Churches. White hit 15 points on 6/8 off the bench, in 22 minutes, against Perth
