Guards David Duke Jr. and Sunday Dech are confirmed to return to the Perth Wildcats roster for Friday night's game against the Brisbane Bullets.
David Duke Jr. Returns from Elbow Injury
American guard Duke Jr. has been sidelined since Round 14, recovering from an elbow injury. His return is highly anticipated, given his consistent contributions throughout the season. Duke Jr. currently averages an impressive 12.8 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game, making him a key offensive and playmaking asset for the Wildcats.
Sunday Dech Back After Illness
Sunday Dech also makes his return to the lineup. He missed the Wildcats' recent Round 20 victory against Cairns, having been out due to illness. His presence adds valuable depth and defensive prowess to the guard rotation.
Team Availability Update
With the re-incorporation of Duke Jr. and Dech, the Wildcats' roster is nearing full strength. Jaron Rillie will be the only player unavailable for Friday night's game, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
