Anyone know why Childress hasn't played? To avoid risk of getting injured?

Why is Doc Hurley listed as an assistant for the Kings in these pre-season games? Is it because Cotter is away with the Opals so the assistant is the head coach temporarily and Hurley came in to assist him.

Not ideal having your NBL coach go away on womens duties so close to tipoff.

Doc has been brought on as a mentor coach from the start, so I guess he's just stepping in to a more official role while Cotter is with the Opals...

Not ideal to have Cotter away with the Opals, but it sounds like from his tweets and comments that he's in constant contact and it's not like it was with Goorj who was always off with Boomers duty when it was recruitment/pre-season time...

re: the NZ games, I know NZ had key players out as well, but most discrepancies could be filled with the return of Childress and Ellis, the only concern really, is that Childress has missed so much of the pre-season... I am hoping it's just that they don't want to risk anything in pre-season games and he's still training with the team and will be good to go come the first tip off, but it IS concerning...

Great to see everyone stepping up in the pre-season though... Cadee has had a statistical quiet run for most games although from watching a lot of the games, he's performing his back up PG role well, but it's good that he's shown with this last game that he's capable of breaking out when needed...

Breakers win game 2 94-84.

Ibekwe 5/5 from the floor & 5 rebounds & Tai Wesley 4/5 from the floor, both finished with 11 points each. Webster top scored with 24 followed by TeRangi with 14.

For the Kings, Perry & Cadee both finished with 18 each, Madgen & Brandt (6/7) had 13 a piece.
Garlepp a little quieter on the scoring front with 7 points but a team high 9 rebounds and an assist and a steal.

No Childress for Sydney, no Abercrombie or Pledger for NZ.

Duinker with 18, Perry 15 & Madgen 13.
Webster with 18 for NZ.

Sydney up 3 with less than a minute to go.

From TrueHoop's Friday Bullets:

Some hearsay from an Oklahoma City radio show that LeBron James was recently seen standing on the scale, and it said 272 pounds. ESPN's Ric Bucher responds saying he has heard a similar number about James' weight, then says the great line: "He's Karl Malone with Allen Iverson's speed and agility."

ESPN lists him at 250 lbs (113 kg). How feasible is it that he's actually 123 kg instead?

FWIW, Nathan Jawai is listed at 275 lb on Wikipedia.

Any other heavyweight guys that can play such an athletic game?

To think that David Barlow once carried the nickname "The Prototype" (unless I'm thinking of someone else) back in his early seasons in Sydney when there's an absolute powerhouse running around in Cleveland with that height, superior athleticism and about double the strength!

BTW, kinda funny fake Jerry Sloan account on Twitter.
