The New Zealand Breakers initially faced roster challenges following a loss to the Perth Wildcats. Coach Gordie Herbert indicated a need for more ball handling, noting that Parker Jackson-Cartwright was required to “do everything.” This led to reports that the team was searching the import market for a new guard and considering replacing injured wing Josiah-Jordan James to bolster the point guard position. By Round 3 of the NBL season, the Breakers' performance improved significantly through the scoring of Jackson-Cartwright. He recorded 116 points across two wins, including a 67-point game against the Adelaide 36ers, which was noted as the highest single-game score of the NBL27 season. The Breakers secured an 88-72 victory over the 36ers during this period. More recently, the team received news regarding the return of Jackson-Cartwright from a lower-leg injury. While he is expected to play in the upcoming matchup against the Cairns Taipans, he will likely face minutes restrictions. His return follows a period where he was averaging 26.6 points and 9.4 assists per game. During the team's road trip to Cairns, Sebastian Gleim will assume coaching duties in the absence of head coach Gordie Herbert, who is recovering from an illness.
