The Illawarra Hawks have secured Milton Doyle for the 2026-27 NBL season. Doyle, a former NBA player and NBL champion, signed a one-year deal to serve as the team’s second import alongside guard Tyler Harvey. Coach Justin Tatum described the signing as ‘a steal’, noting Doyle’s scoring ability. Doyle Doyle, 32, expressed motivation to play in the Hawks’ fast-paced offensive system and stated that his skill set as a large guard will complement Harvey. Doyle also noted his desire to prove critics wrong regarding his recent performance, highlighting that he led his previous team, Melbourne United, in scoring despite media narratives suggesting a decline. Following Doyle’s arrival, the Hawks have also signed American forward Kelan Martin for the NBL27 season.
