36ers finalise DP spots

The Adelaide 36ers have finalised their NBL25 Development Players in Keanu Rasmussen, Patrick D’Arcy and Fiston Ipassou. 

Rasmussen and Ipassou will return for their second season, with D’Arcy joining the pair in his first season. 

D’Arcy was recently part of the Australian Emus' under-19 team which won gold at this year’s Albert Schweitzer Tournament, and is currently playing with the Sturt Sabres in NBL1 Central. 

Rasmussen played a season with the Hawkes Bay Hawks in the NZNBL - where he was nominated for the 2024 NZNBL Youth Player of the Year. Ipassou also currently plays in NBL1 Central for the Forestville Eagles, followed by a college stint from 2023-24 at Northern Kentucky University. 

“D’Arcy is a young, promising talent and Fiston has shown growth since returning from college,” 36ers' head coach, Scott Ninnis said.

“Keanu has improved out of sight during the off-season and we are delighted he is returning for NBL25."
