min read

CQUniversity Cairns Taipans star Keanu Pinder has not travelled to Perth due to the orbital eye fracture he suffered in Melbourne. Depending on the team’s success throughout the NBL Finals, the club is hopeful he will be able to return after the FIBA break.

Meanwhile, guard Mirko Djeric has been diagnosed with gastroenteritis and will not suit up tomorrow. He is expected to return for the next fixture.

The Taipans face the Wildcats tomorrow night at RAC Arena. Watch LIVE on ESPN at 8:30pm.
