Keanu Pinder set to return

CQUniversity Cairns Taipans’ MVP-candidate Keanu Pinder finally returns to the line-up, in time for the Heritage Round clash at the Cairns Convention Centre.

Pinder suffered an ankle injury in Melbourne United’s open-air game prior to Christmas and has been sidelined for the past six games.

The NBL’s reigning Most Improved Player has been a huge part of the MVP conversations for the 2022-23 season, averaging 17.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals prior to injury.

His highly-anticipated return will be Friday night against the Tasmania JackJumpers. GET TICKETS HERE!
