Injury update: Key Taipan out

The injury bug at the Cairns Taipans is spreading, with scans confirming Pedro Bradshaw is out for eight weeks with an ankle injury. 

Bradshaw sprained his right ankle in the Taipans' loss to the Adelaide 36ers last Friday night. Scans have revealed he will be sidelined for at least eight weeks, expected to return in Round 13. 

He joins Taran Armstrong (ankle) and Tanner Groves (calf) on the injury list. 

The Taipans face the Brisbane Bullets at 8pm AEDT on Saturday night live on ESPN.
